Iran Faces Intensifying Crisis as Sanctions Return and Executions Rise
The Iranian regime is grappling with a deepening crisis marked by escalating factional infighting and a surge in executions coinciding with the reimposition of international sanctions. The return of UN and EU sanctions has substantially impacted the regime, exacerbating existing internal power struggles that threaten the system’s stability. since the end of a recent 12-day conflict, executions have dramatically increased, creating a pressing human rights crisis within the country.
The intensifying conflict between major factions within the ruling establishment, while publicly framed as efforts to ensure stability, are in reality amplifying existing crises and pushing Iran further into turmoil. The regime’s judiciary is increasingly relying on executions as a tool for repression, attempting to mask systemic failures and quell growing social unrest. regime insiders acknowledge the severity of the situation, with some suggesting the very survival of the system is at risk.
