The Execution Machine of Iran’s Regime Runs Without Pause
Iran Focus, April 8, 2026
Less than three weeks after the start of U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran, a wave of executions of political prisoners began with the hanging of an Iranian Swedish dual national, Kourosh Keyvani, on charges of espionage. He was executed on March 18, two days before the Iranian New Year (Nowruz).
One day later, the day before Nowruz, three detainees from the nationwide January protests in Qom—Mehdi Ghasemi, Saleh Mahmoudi, and Saeed Davoodi—were executed.
With the start of the Nowruz holidays, the execution machine did not stop. On March 30, while cities continued to be bombarded and people were spending Nowruz holidays without internet and satellite access under a rain of bombs and missiles, two political prisoners and members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), Mohammad Taghavi Sangdehi and Ali Akbar Daneshvar, were executed. One day later, two other members of this organization, Pouya Ghobadi and Babak Alipour, were also executed.

America’s exit strategy is already inside Iran
MSN, April 6, 2026 by Colonel Wes Martin
Once again this century America has commenced another Mideast conflict while ignoring most of the principles established in the Weinberger-Powell Doctrine.
Bypassed this time were clear and attainable objectives, risk and cost analysis, plausible exit strategy, approval of the American public, and broad global support.
Also ignored was the Gulf Cooperation Council’s warning against a military conflict with Iran. With no victory in sight, from Saudi Arabia to Türkiye, from the Emirates to Cyprus, the region has now endured drone and missile attacks from the fundamentalist regime.
U.S. forces fire million-dollar missiles to shoot down $8,000 drones.
In further response, Iran has blocked the Persian Gulf’s Strait of Hormuz to international shipping. This expectation should have been identified in the risk-analysis portion of pre-war planning.
In keeping with its history of taking hostages to get its way, Iran’s current hostage is the global economy.
As Sultan al-Jaber, head of Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. declared, “Weaponizing the Strait of Hormuz is not an act of aggression against one nation, it is economic terrorism against every consumer, every family that depends on affordable energy and food.

ABC News Live w/ Dr. Ramesh Sepehhrad -Why The Focus Should Be On The Iranian People’s Resistance
The Chair of the OIAC Advisory Board discusses why the Tehran regime fears its own people and their organized resistance above all else.
