The total recorded executions in the three weeks ending February 10 have reached at least 243 individuals. Meanwhile, since March 21, 2025, the beginning of the Persian year 1404, the regime has executed 2,476 people in various prisons across the country, marking an unprecedented record during all the years of Ali Khamenei’s rule as supreme leader of Iran’s regime. Another telling figure in this regard is the number of executions carried out during the presidency of Masoud Pezeshkian, the current president of Iran’s regime, which has so far reached 3,443 individuals.

Iran’s Youth Are Selling Their Kidneys as the Economy Continues to Plunge
The worsening livelihood crisis in Iran has once again pushed the phenomenon of kidney sales to the top of the news. This time, however, the scope of the tragedy has expanded. Young people who should be building the future are now offering parts of their own bodies in order to survive. The state-run website Didban Iran published a report on February 10 about kidney sales. The report highlighted the spread of this phenomenon among those born in the 2000s. A review of advertisements shows that the sale of organs such as kidneys is no longer limited to traditionally vulnerable groups. The names of young people appear who have not yet entered stable employment. Many of them are under pressure from debt and unemployment. The soaring cost of living has pushed them to the brink of dangerous decisions.
A Report on Iran’s Chaotic Market and Regime Thefts
On social media, advertisements for the sale of organs such as kidneys are being posted with unprecedented figures. Some sellers have announced prices as high as 50 billion rials (approximately 31,250 dollars). Although these amounts are not always realized, they reveal the depth of the crisis. In these ads, young age and full health are listed as advantages. Under Ali Khamenei’s corrupt rule, the human body has been turned into a commodity for trade.

The Spread of Kidney Sales Among Young People

The decline in the average age of sellers is a serious warning sign. The entry of those born in the 2000s into the organ market signals the collapse of economic security. This generation should be engaged in education and skill-building. Instead, they see no option but to sell a kidney to pay rent and debts. The physical and psychological consequences of such a decision can be irreversible. The increase in organ sales is not merely a medical issue. This phenomenon is a direct reflection of structural poverty and widespread corruption. The economic policies of the clerical regime have shrunk people’s livelihoods. Young people have become victims of inefficiency and systematic plunder. While the country’s resources are spent on repression and foreign adventurism, citizens are selling their body parts just to stay alive. The conclusion is clear. The sale of body organs is the naked image of a regime that has destroyed human values. A generation that should represent hope for the future has been driven into the organ market. This tragedy is the product of four decades of corrupt and repressive rule. A society whose youth sell their own bodies will not endure under such a structure.

Revelations of A Physician on The Bloody Crackdown in Iran and Hospitals of Fear
Every day, new dimensions are revealed about the bloody crackdown on the nationwide uprising of the Iranian people, detailing how the Iranian regime’s security forces carried out a large-scale massacre in January. An Iranian physician, who has temporarily left the country, described what took place in one of Iran’s major cities in an interview with the BBC World Service program “Weekend.” His account provides a clear picture of the bloody repression and its direct consequences for civilians and medical staff. The interview, released alongside a clip of his remarks, has received widespread attention.

Doctors’ report on the human dimensions of the bloody crackdown on the uprising

The physician said that as of Thursday, January 8, internet access was completely cut off. The shutdown disrupted the process of prescribing medication. Many patients were left without prescriptions. Contact with colleagues became impossible. Access to medical records was disabled. According to him, treatment was halted at a critical moment, and the pressure on medical staff multiplied several times over. He emphasized that he had never witnessed such scenes before. The wounded were brought in continuously. People would drop off the injured and return to bring others. Many of the wounded were young. The scenes were heartbreaking. The medical staff’s gowns became stained with blood. Paramedics wept as they worked. According to him, describing what happened is not easy. This part of his account reveals the human dimensions of the bloody repression.

Hospital: a scene of fear and the erasure of evidence

The physician said that with the arrival of security forces, even the dead were shown no mercy. Bodies were collected from various locations. Many of the injured refused to be transferred to hospitals. Fear of arrest in medical centers was widespread. This fear delayed treatment and endangered lives. Instead of being a place of refuge, the hospital turned into a scene of fear. He also reported that the intelligence unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the regime’s main military and security force, visited the hospital. According to him, medical staff were interrogated over the failure to register the names of the injured. The doctors’ response was clear: the volume of admissions did not allow time to record information. The priority was saving lives. These pressures are described as part of the mechanism of the bloody crackdown aimed at erasing evidence. In conclusion, the physician said he does not believe Iranians will ever return to their previous lives after these events. His remarks present a vivid picture of the deep divide between society and the ruling establishment. They show that the ruthless and bloody crackdown did not only target the streets, but also wounded healthcare, public trust, and the future itself.

A Report on Iran’s Chaotic Market and Regime Thefts
Hossein Samsami, a member of the Iranian regime’s Majlis (parliament), announced that foreign currency revenues from non-oil exports from 2018 to November 2025, amounting to about 76 billion dollars, have not been returned. This figure has now reached 85 billion dollars. He said: “The issue of foreign currency and currency restrictions is one of the country’s important issues. Foreign currency from non-oil exports from 2018 to November 2025, amounting to about 76 billion dollars, has not been returned, meaning matured obligations that have not been fulfilled. This amount has now become 85 billion dollars, meaning that in about one and a half months roughly 9 billion dollars has been added, despite the fact that we sharply increased the exchange rate, meaning we raised it from 700,000 rials to 1,300,000 rials and 1,400,000 rials, but still the currency is not returning. This must be paid attention to.”
Sharp Increase in the Iranian Regime’s Cryptocurrency Activities

The surge in foreign currency prices and the tightening of people’s livelihoods

Samsami added: “Do the country’s executive officials know where the economy and people’s livelihoods are heading now. Do you know that these policies have led to an increase of 30% to 50% in nearly all goods, from detergents to hygiene products, various beverages, motor oil, car tires, automobiles, and construction materials? The mechanism works this way: when foreign currency increases, through imports, through the commodities exchange, and through the dollarization laws that we enacted in the Majlis in previous years, the prices of goods rise.”

Shabakeye Khabar television (a state-run news channel), February 8

Samsami had previously stated that 20 billion dollars of foreign currency from non-oil exports had never returned to the country. This admission is not an administrative error, but a clear sign of organized plunder at the heart of an economic structure that has left the hands of regime thieves free to loot as much as they can from this windfall.

Organized plunder and the immunity of select exporters

Referring to a list of 24,000 exporters, Samsami emphasized that the main portion of the unreturned currency was in the hands of a few hundred major exporters. The names of large shipping and petrochemical companies were raised, but no action was taken. The ruling establishment, instead of asserting authority over these networks, chose silence.

Currency policy and the sacrifice of people’s tables

To force exporters to return foreign currency, the regime chose the path of increasing the official exchange rate. The 400,000-rial rate rose to about 700,000 rials, imposing heavy inflation on society. Samsami clearly stated that this decision meant direct theft from people’s tables to fill the pockets of exporters. In this process, the ruling establishment knowingly sacrificed the people to preserve the interests of a limited group. Organized plunder here became official policy.

The currency market and the collapse of the regime’s authority

This Majlis member also pointed to the role of foreign markets such as Sulaymaniyah (in Iraq) and Herat (in Afghanistan) in determining the exchange rate. He said: “The country’s exchange rate is practically determined by a few individuals across the borders, and the entire ruling establishment adapts itself to it.” These remarks present a clear picture of the collapse of the economic authority of Ali Khamenei’s regime. A regime that claims control is, in practice, subordinate to opaque and corrupt networks.

Secretary-General of Iran’s House of Nurses: Nurses Have Been Arrested in Several Cities
Mohammad Sharifi Moghaddam, secretary-general of the Iranian regime’s House of Nurses, said that a number of nurses were arrested during the January protests, but there is no precise figure available. He stressed that those who should act in support of the detained nurses have stepped aside and that no specific follow-up has been carried out in this regard. Sharifi Moghaddam said on Tuesday, February 10: “Nurses have been arrested in Isfahan, Tehran, and some other cities.” According to him, in addition to the arrests on January 8 and January 9, nurses were also detained in the following days: “For example, last week a nurse working at a home nursing care center was arrested.”
Iran’s Healthcare System Faces Shortage Of 165,000 Nurses
Sharifi Moghaddam emphasized: “Those who should take action in support of these individuals have stepped aside, and no specific follow-up regarding the situation of the detained nurses has taken place.” Previously, following the publication of contradictory figures regarding the arrest of healthcare workers during protests in Iran, the head of the country’s Medical Council Organization confirmed the arrest of more than 50 individuals, including doctors, nurses, and other healthcare staff. Mohammad Rezaizadeh, on Saturday, February 7, in an interview with the state-run newspaper Etemad, said that since some of these 50 individuals are not physicians and belong to other segments of the medical and paramedical community, such as nursing, the Medical Council bears no responsibility toward them. He added: “The number of individuals we initially identified was 33, about whom information had been released; individuals who may have been detained for one hour. After reviews, the number of those who were detained reached at least 23, and considering the releases in recent days, this figure has decreased to fewer than 17.” These regime figures were announced under conditions in which information published on social media indicates that at least 30 members of the medical staff are in detention, including Ali Fakher and Saber Dehghan, two physicians who were arrested in recent days by Iranian security agents. According to received information, Nastran, the wife of Ali Fakher, and their daughter have also been arrested.

U.S.-Based Institute: Iran Fortified Isfahan Nuclear Facility as It Did Before the 12-Day War

U.S.-Based Institute: Iran Fortified Isfahan Nuclear Facility as It Did Before the 12-Day War
The Institute for Science and International Security, a U.S.-based organization, reported on Monday, based on the latest satellite images, that Iran has taken new measures to fortify the Isfahan nuclear facility against a potential attack by Israel and the United States. The institute said Iran had carried out similar actions prior to the U.S. attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities in June. According to the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS), based on high-resolution satellite images recorded on Sunday, Iran has covered the entrances of the Isfahan nuclear facility’s tunnels with soil.
Head Of Atomic Energy Organization of Iranian Regime: Grossi Is ‘Part of the Enemy’
According to the report, the central and southern entrances of the nuclear facility, which were targeted in the U.S. June attacks known as “Operation Midnight Hammer,” have been completely buried under soil to the point that they are no longer identifiable. The northern tunnel entrance, which has more extensive passive defense measures, has also been filled with soil and blocked. According to the Institute for Science and International Security, in light of these measures, it appears that the Iranian regime is deeply concerned about U.S. and Israeli airstrikes and ground assaults against these fortified nuclear facilities. According to the report, filling the tunnel entrances with soil can reduce the impact of any potential air attack. This protective measure would also make it difficult for commandos, in the event of a potential raid, to access the core of the facility, which may be where Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpiles are stored. According to the institute, it is also possible that Iran has moved equipment and materials into the tunnels for protection. However, this cannot be confirmed. The Institute for Science and International Security, which works on countering nuclear proliferation and monitors Iran’s actions at nuclear facilities, added that the Iranian regime last took such measures in the days preceding the U.S. June attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities known as “Operation Midnight Hammer.” In this operation, which was carried out in the middle of the twelve-day war between Iran and Israel, the United States targeted the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities with bunker-buster bombs and cruise missiles. Since then, the fate of Iran’s uranium stockpiles enriched up to 60% has remained unclear. This report was published as representatives of the Iranian regime and the United States met in Muscat, the capital of Oman, for the first time since the twelve-day war, with the aim of resuming nuclear negotiations. According to officials from both sides, one of the key issues in these talks is the fate of these uranium stockpiles. Mohammad Eslami, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of the Iranian regime, announced on Monday, February 9, that if “all sanctions” against Iran are lifted, Tehran is prepared to “dilute” its uranium enriched up to 60%.

Iranian Regime Judiciary Cancels Pardons for Jailed Protesters
The head of the Iranian regime’s judiciary ordered that the names of individuals arrested in the recent protests be removed from the annual pardon list. Each year, a number of prisoners in Iran are pardoned on the occasion of February 11, the anniversary of the 1979 revolution. Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, head of the Iranian regime’s judiciary, has ordered that the names of all individuals who are in any way linked to recent “security issues” be removed from the pardon list and that this annual measure, which is carried out by order of Ali Khamenei, the regime’s supreme leader, not include them. On Monday, February 9, referring to the submission of the list of eligible convicts for pardon to Khamenei as in previous years, he stressed: “Given the circumstances that have arisen and the recent violent sedition, I have ordered that the names of all convicts who are in any way connected to security issues be removed from the pardon lists. The defendants and convicts of the recent unrest will also not be included in pardons or leniency.” Earlier, media outlets inside Iran had reported that during a trip to Markazi Province, the head of the judiciary had spoken of “submitting a proposal for the pardon of part of those detained in the recent events and the approval” of Khamenei, the leader of Iran’s regime. Following the popular January protests, the head of the Iranian regime’s judiciary has repeatedly emphasized severe and immediate response to protesters whom he has labeled “rioters.” Ejei issued the order to remove the names of “security detainees” from the pardon list while thousands of protesters were arrested by regime forces during the January protests. A number of them are individuals under eighteen years old and school students. Human rights organizations and bodies have repeatedly warned and expressed concern about the situation of those detained in the recent protests.

Iran’s ‘No to Executions Tuesdays’ Campaign Marks 107th week in Prisons Across the Country
The “No to Executions Tuesdays” campaign has entered the one 107th week of its strike. Participating prisoners issued a statement this week addressing prison conditions and the situation of executions. Political prisoners participating in this campaign called on their fellow citizens in Iran, under these conditions, to raise their voices and protest. They also stressed that in these sensitive circumstances, they aspire to reach a free and equal Iran, free of violence and executions, with the right of self-determination exercised by the people.

In another part of the “No to Executions Tuesdays” statement, a sharp increase in the implementation of execution sentences during the month of Bahman (late January to mid-February) was noted. At the same time, hundreds of other prisoners are at risk of receiving or having execution sentences carried out.

The full text of the “No to Executions Tuesdays” campaign statement

According to reports and information obtained during the proud uprising of January 2026, the repressive agents of the Iranian regime, in addition to massacring thousands of innocent people, arrested tens of thousands of Iranian citizens and youth, subjecting many of them to physical and psychological pressure to extract forced confessions. According to the same reports, as part of intensifying the atmosphere of repression and public intimidation, the execution-oriented government has arrested a number of lawyers, physicians, and medical staff, reflecting its growing fear of the brave uprising of the people in the previous month of Dey (December–January). The ruling despotic regime, over the past three weeks (from January 21 to the present), has executed more than 207 people, including two women. In addition to the hundreds and thousands of detained prisoners who are unidentified and at risk of the medieval sentence of execution, in recent days Kurdish political prisoner Nasser Bakarzadeh has been sentenced to death for the third time and faces a serious risk of execution. Here, we call on the brave and courageous people of Iran to be the voice of detainees and political prisoners, and we ask the families of those detained to raise their cries of protest against oppression, injustice, and widespread and extrajudicial arrests, and to support their loved ones. Indeed! Fellow citizens, under these conditions silence is not an option; the only option and the path to salvation is to raise one’s voice and protest. In these sensitive circumstances, we aspire to reach a free and equal Iran, free of violence and executions, and with the “right of self-determination” exercised by the people. Political prisoners participating in the “No to Executions Tuesdays” campaign are on hunger strike on Tuesday, February 10, in the 107th week of the campaign, across 56 prisons nationwide.

Indian Navy Seizes Three Oil Tankers Linked to Iranian Regime

Indian Navy Seizes Three Oil Tankers Linked to Iranian Regime
Media outlets in Iran reported that the Indian Navy has seized three oil tankers linked to the Iranian regime for violating international sanctions. According to these reports, the reason for the seizure of the three oil tankers was “illegal activities such as oil smuggling.” Domestic media added that these tankers, which belonged to a single company, were placed on the United States sanctions list in 2025. The Indian Coast Guard had earlier announced in a statement that on February 6, it had dismantled an international oil smuggling network in a precise and coordinated maritime-aerial operation. The statement said that the network transferred cargo at sea and in international waters, moving cheap oil from crisis-stricken regions to oil tankers and, through this method, evaded paying legal duties to coastal countries. The Indian Coast Guard added that continuous inspections, analysis of electronic data, and interrogation of the crews clarified the operating methods [of these tankers] and their links to a globally directed network.” According to the agency, the three “suspicious” vessels, known for frequently changing their identities, were stopped at a distance of about 100 nautical miles west of Mumbai and were directed toward the port of Mumbai to undergo legal proceedings. However, TankerTrackers reported on February 7 that three oil tankers named Stellar Ruby, Al Jafzia, and Asphalt Star were seized by India, all of which are on Washington’s sanctions list.
U.S. Treasury Identifies $9 Billion in ‘Iranian Shadow Banking’ Activity
According to TankerTrackers, the oil tanker “Stellar Ruby” was operating under the Iranian flag. In recent months, the Iranian regime has sought to bypass U.S. oil sanctions through a “shadow fleet.” This network of oil tankers transports sanctioned oil by changing flags, turning off tracking systems, transferring cargo from ship to ship, and using opaque ownership structures. On the other hand, Washington has sought to disrupt the activities of the Iranian regime’s shadow fleet by imposing targeted sanctions. In the latest move, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced on February 7 the imposition of new sanctions against a network of ships, companies, and individuals linked to Iran’s oil trade. In the new sanctions package, the names of 14 vessels, 15 commercial entities, and two individuals appear. On February 6, U.S. President Donald Trump, in a new executive order, extended the “national emergency” against Iran and established a new mechanism for imposing tariffs on countries that engage in economic transactions with the Iranian regime.

Tens of Thousands Rally in Berlin in Support of Iran’s Uprising and Democratic Change

Berlin — February 7, 2026

Tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate on Saturday, braving freezing temperatures to mark the anniversary of Iran’s 1979 anti-monarchical revolution while voicing support for ongoing protests inside Iran. The rally brought together Iranian communities from across Europe alongside political figures and activists, reflecting a coordinated effort by diaspora groups to draw international attention to developments inside the country and to present competing visions for Iran’s political future. Participants carried banners calling for freedom, justice for victims of repression, and accountability for those responsible for human rights abuses. Organizers described the gathering as part of a broader wave of mobilization among Iranians abroad, intended to amplify demands heard in recent protests that have increasingly moved beyond economic grievances toward calls for fundamental political change. Some speakers and participants joined remotely after weather disruptions affected travel, but the program proceeded with a series of speeches centered on opposition to both monarchical and clerical rule. Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), said in her address that recent protests marked a decisive phase in what she described as a long-running struggle against dictatorship. Addressing the crowd, she stated that the “countdown” to overthrow had begun and portrayed the Resistance Units as the organized backbone of the uprising. Referring to years of opposition activity, she said, “For years and years, we said: overthrow, overthrow,” framing the current moment as the result of sustained resistance. Mrs. Rajavi also warned against what she described as attempts to divert the direction of protests through monarchist slogans such as “Long Live the Shah,” calling them a source of division that benefits repression. Reiterating the slogan “No to Shah, no to the mullahs,” she presented a political roadmap centered on the establishment of a democratic republic, separation of religion and state, gender equality, and a non-nuclear Iran. She outlined a transition framework in which a constituent assembly would draft a new constitution within months of political change and called for international measures including open internet access for Iranians and legal accountability for senior officials accused of human rights violations, while emphasizing that change must be led by Iranians themselves. Other speakers framed the Berlin gathering within broader international and historical contexts. Charles Michel, former President of the European Council, drew parallels between Berlin’s own political transformation and Iran’s trajectory, telling participants that “no wall is eternal” and that “freedom cannot be defeated forever.” He argued that European policy should move beyond treating Tehran as a permanent fixture and described the existence of an organized political alternative as essential for a stable transition, referring to the NCRI’s Ten-Point Plan as a framework for moving from protest to democratic governance. Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo described the moment as extending beyond a cycle of unrest, telling rallygoers that the struggle inside Iran is primarily internal and cannot be imposed from outside. He pointed to organized resistance networks as evidence that opposition persists despite repression and presented the NCRI’s political program as an answer to questions often raised in Western capitals regarding alternatives and post-transition stability. Pompeo warned against what he characterized as “strongman solutions,” including monarchist restoration, arguing that such outcomes risk reproducing authoritarian rule under a different form. Peter Altmaier, former German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy, addressed Europe’s approach to Iran, arguing that expectations of gradual reform had lost credibility in light of repression. He called for stronger sanctions and urged media organizations to expand reporting on developments inside Iran, describing independent information as essential for societies facing censorship. Rather than focusing on individual leaders, he referred to democratic guarantees such as rule of law and equal rights as benchmarks for political transition. Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, former German Federal Minister of Justice, framed the rally in legal and human rights terms, emphasizing freedom of expression, free elections, and separation of religion and state as measurable standards of democracy. She called for the release of detainees arrested during protests and condemned executions, urging accountability that extends to senior decision-makers. Women’s rights, she noted, remain a central indicator of democratic legitimacy. Speakers representing Iranian political organizations and civil society also addressed the crowd. Jalal Khoshkelam of the Khabat Organization of Iranian Kurdistan described internet shutdowns and restrictions on communication as attempts to conceal repression, calling for international institutions to respond by increasing pressure on the Iranian authorities. Sasan Khatouni, representing the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan, emphasized the importance of pluralism and equal political participation for Iran’s diverse nationalities, warning against a return to personality-driven rule. Activists and younger speakers echoed similar themes. NCRI supporter Naghmeh Rajabi stressed rejection of authoritarianism in any form, describing the goal as a democratic republic rather than the replacement of one ruling system with another. Iranian youth speaker Hiva Mohammadi focused on organization and continuity, telling protesters inside Iran that diaspora demonstrations aimed to signal solidarity and sustained support. As the rally concluded, participants dispersed after several hours of speeches and demonstrations that combined remembrance, political messaging, and appeals for international engagement. The Berlin gathering illustrated the continued mobilization of Iranian communities abroad and the persistence of organized efforts to influence international discourse on Iran’s political future. While speakers differed in emphasis, the event reflected a shared effort to connect diaspora activism with ongoing developments inside Iran, presenting the uprising as part of a broader and unresolved political struggle whose outcome remains contested.
