Decoding the Iranian regime’s fear: IRGC’s ’emerging threats’ are the people
While Iran’s clerical regime attempts to project an image of unshakeable strength, its own statements and actions betray a deep and growing panic. A recent declaration by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), intended as a show of force, inadvertently serves as a confession of its fear of a new, powerful “emerging threat”: the nation’s own enraged and defiant populace. This fear is not unfounded. As protests flare across the country, fueled by a collapsing economy and a state that cannot provide even the most basic services, the regime is turning its security apparatus inward to face the people it claims to serve.
AUGUST 2025 Report: Dual Repression of Political Prisoners and Their Families
AUGUST 2025 Report: In August, the clerical regime escalated its repressive measures against political prisoners—particularly supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK)—and their families.
During this period, notorious prisons such as Qarchak, Greater Tehran (Fashafouyeh), Evin, and Ghezel Hesar in Karaj became sites of intensified “white torture” and severe denial of legal and medical rights, especially under the sweltering summer conditions.

Young Iranians from communities across Europe, supporters of the Iranian Resistance, invite you to join the Brussels Free Iran Rally on September 6, right in the heart of Europe! They are calling for a democratic, secular republic in Iran, based on the Free Iran 10-Point Plan — a vision of a free Iran without executions, nuclear weapons, or any form of dictatorship, whether by a Shah or by mullahs.
Iran’s Regime Plans to Execute 100 People on Charges of Spying for Israel
The British newspaper Sunday Times reported on the crackdown on female prisoners in Iran following Israel’s attack on Evin Prison on June 23, during the 12-day war. It wrote that there are concerns that 100 people may be executed on charges of spying for Israel. The UN Human Rights Office announced on Friday, August 29, that at least 841 people have been executed in Iran this year. According to this report, just last month 110 people were executed in Iran, a figure that has doubled compared to the same month last year. A former student activist had previously written in a series of Instagram stories that regime agents in Evin Prison, at the time of Israel’s attack, intended for the prisoners to be buried under the rubble of war.
Protests By Various Social Groups Against Poverty And Injustice Are Escalating
On Sunday, August 31, Isfahan witnessed protests by retired steel and mining workers. Dozens of retirees voiced their anger at their dire living conditions and the neglect of regime officials. One of the main chants of the protest was “Hey, Mr. President, you lied to the nation,” which was repeated several times by the demonstrators. The participants stressed that after years of hard labor in the steel and mining industries, they are now struggling with empty tables and severe livelihood problems. They declared that remaining silent in the face of oppression and injustice is no longer possible, and their presence in the streets is a direct response to officials’ indifference.
Poverty in Iran Deepens as War and Economic Mismanagement Collide
Poverty in Iran has become more than just a social issue—it is the most visible symptom of decades of structural economic failure. Official statistics indicate that nearly 30 percent of the population, or about 25 to 26 million people, live below the absolute poverty line, while an estimated five million suffer from extreme food insecurity. Families face shrinking purchasing power, soaring housing costs, and an inability to afford even basic food staples.
While these challenges stem from long-standing inflation, mismanagement, and sanctions, the situation has sharply deteriorated in the wake of the recent 12-day war, which has acted as a catalyst, magnifying inequality and accelerating economic collapse.
Iran’s Regime Renews Empty Promises as Student Repression Continues
Despite official claims that “no student is deprived,” the reality of starred students, expulsions, and imprisoned activists shows systematic denial of the right to education. As the new academic year begins, Iranian regime officials once again claim that “no student is deprived of education” and that “everyone has returned to university.” Yet the reality tells a different story: cases of starred students, bans, expulsions, and dozens of imprisoned student activists highlight the deep and ongoing gap between rhetoric and truth. In late 2024, the regime issued a similar declaration, announcing the supposed “return of dozens of students” previously barred from higher education. But despite repeated promises, systematic exclusion persists, rooted in decades of state repression.
