Iran’s regime is at war with its own people - and executions are its weapon - opinion
As long as the Iranian regime remains in power, it will keep “searching for necks to hang from its gallows.”
The Islamic Republic of Iran has long operated as a regime at war with its own people, relying on executions as a primary means of political control and repression. This approach was evident in the recent execution of Shahram Sadeghi, who was arrested in connection with nationwide protests that erupted in January. The regime's use of executions is not merely a form of revenge, but rather a strategic tool to maintain its grip on power and deter opposition, as evidenced by the continued high number of executions and the public nature of these events.
The Iranian judiciary has become an ideological instrument, using charges like moharebeh to label opposition as treasonous, effectively denying the organic and homegrown nature of the opposition movement.
