From the dawn of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran has been a target for various armed terrorist groups, resulting in the martyrdom of 23,000 of its citizens. Among them, an estimated 500 were children under the age of 12—a number that rises to nearly 2,000 if we consider anyone under 18 a child.
By any measure, this is a profoundly painful and significant number. The loss of so many young lives is a tragedy that defies any logical justification.
Of course, we must honor all children
It has been said that the current genocide in Gaza is the most widely publicized genocide in history. This, of course, is due to social media, where anyone with a phone and internet connection can spread information around the world in seconds. And despite the illusion of ceasefire, the genocide continues to this day.
Official Palestinian estimates are that about 70,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel in two years of genocide. Some estimates, however, put that total as much as ten
Discussing the impact on the mental health of children and adolescents in Gaza leads us to consider a different way of thinking about psychology, contextualizing it through the lens of history and occupation; since it is impossible to understand current events and their consequences without this context.
The mainstream media, subservient to the Zionist lobby for years, has dedicated itself to making reality, pain, and truth invisible, fueling dehumanization and colonizing the Palestinian
When we speak about children and their rights, we quickly realize that countless international conventions and laws have been created to protect them in every aspect of life. Yet a pressing question remains: Why do these rules seem to vanish precisely when children’s lives are most at risk?
Consider, for example, the children of the Gaza Strip—children who are subjected to every form of injustice at the hands of the terrorist entity in the region, while no authority holds it accountable.
What
In my perspective, terrorism refers to the strategic use of violence, fear, and intimidation by state or non-state actors to influence governments or populations for political, ideological, or religious objectives. It intentionally targets civilians to magnify psychological, social, or political impacts.
The impact of terrorism on women and children is significant. While terrorism affects societies at different levels, its severest and most long-lasting consequences fall on women and children
Ashraf-3, the fortified camp of the Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) in Manzë, Albania, is a veritable "city of exiles." Spanning roughly 40 hectares, it contains over a hundred buildings and is isolated by high walls and security checkpoints. Inside, around 2,500 dissident refugees live under a strict internal code, effectively forming a sect whose members are denied a normal family life and must adhere to the organization's uncompromising doctrine.
To understand the burden Albania has taken on by
A new report sheds light on a disturbing pattern of “destructive mind control” within the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK/PMOI) — an exiled opposition group long accused of cult-like behavior and internal coercion. Drawing on the testimony of former member Ehsan Bidi, the findings reveal systematic psychological manipulation, family separation, and restrictions on freedom of thought that raise serious human-rights concerns under international law.
Founded in 1965 as a
October 2nd, the International Day of Non-Violence, commemorates Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy against violence. However, in many Kurdish-populated regions, slogans of freedom and justice have become pretexts for armed groups to generate violence and destroy people’s lives. This article explores how the cycle of violence perpetuated by these groups has victimized generations.
Introduction
Every year on October 2nd, the world observes the International Day of Non-Violence to mark the birth of
"The Organization told us: 'Don't just demonstrate—start shooting, and a million people will rise up to carry you on their shoulders!'... We truly believed a million people would come and carry us."
This confession from a member of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) terrorist group reveals the delusion behind their armed demonstration on September 27, 1981. But the reality was starkly different. Instead of a popular uprising, their gunfire emptied the streets. The people who did appear came not to
The honeymoon between the MKO terrorist group and Albania is coming to an end, and Tirana is advancing its criminal investigations into the group's actions amid the MKO's intensified illegal and hostile behavior.
According to Habilian, citing Mizan News Agency, the Albanian media Gazeta Impakt, in a report titled "Pandora's Box: The MKO's Hostile Transformation Against Albania," wrote that Albania's hosting of the MKO has now turned into a full-blown nightmare for Tirana. The report states:
The Zionist-imperialist assault on Iran has subsided for now, but no one can say how long this uneasy calm will last. What is clear, however, is that it is a mistake to believe that the genocidal warmongering of the Zionist regime is driven solely by Netanyahu’s personal bid to avoid prison. Unfortunately, this is a simplification—even among those in Italy who hold advanced positions on the Palestinian issue. What is unfolding is a broader and deliberate effort to redraw the map of the entire
The International Day of Families, celebrated each year on May 15, is a poignant reminder of the profound role this smallest—yet most powerful—unit of society plays in shaping individuals and our world. This day is more than just a calendar event to honor families across the globe. It is an opportunity to reflect on how we can build a world where every family, regardless of color, race, or culture, can live in peace and security.
The family is the first school where we learn love
Once again, Washington returns to its old game: accusing others of terrorism while it is the one fueling and exploiting it to serve its interests. The statements made by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio during his recent meeting in Al-Quds with Benjamin Netanyahu are merely a continuation of an American policy aimed at covering up its primary role in destabilizing West Asia by supporting terrorist groups and using them as tools in its political projects.
American Admissions: From al-Qaeda
According to the Encyclopedia of 23000 Terror Victims of the Islamic Republic of Iran, 649 women have been assassinated by terrorist groups. As the world commemorates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2025, this article shines a light on the profound and often overlooked suffering of women caught in the web of terrorism. It explores their dual roles as both victims and potential agents of change, urging a global reckoning with the atrocities they endure and the vital contributions they can
In 2022, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution recognizing February 12 as the International Day for the Prevention of Violent Extremism as and when Conducive to Terrorism.
This move reflects the global community’s deep concern over the spread of terrorism and underscores the necessity of comprehensive collaboration among civil institutions, governments, and the international community to address the root causes of this scourge. Violent extremism, like smoldering embers
The Western double standard on terrorism is an issue that not only questions our collective conscience but, when analyzed with clarity, reveals profound contradictions in the global narrative and the policies adopted by Western nations.
When we talk about terrorism, we refer to one of the gravest threats to international security, state stability, and the lives of millions of people. However, the perception and response to terrorism seem to vary significantly depending on the origin, religion
The assertion that some countries and Western politicians support terrorism – a claim frequently made by independent activists, groups, and nations – is not merely a rhetorical device aimed at opposing Western culture or politics. Through their hostile actions against nations with independent or divergent policies, these entities employ unconventional and often inhumane approaches to human rights issues. Whether their actions target governments or inflict harm upon large segments of innocent
For 45 years, Iran has faced relentless terrorism, including targeted assassinations and coordinated attacks by armed groups, and despite growing casualties and global focus, the country remains entangled in a battle with an evolving threat.
Dr. Seyed Hossein Mousavi Far is an Assistant Professor of International Law at the Faculty of Law and Political Science, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. With a deep understanding of legal frameworks governing international relations, Dr. Mousavi Far has
The concept of terrorism in Iran became deeply intertwined with daily life in Iranian society following the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Various terrorist groups, particularly ethnic separatist factions and armed leftist movements, exploited the political instability caused by the monarchy's collapse and the nascent government's vulnerabilities, turning to violence and assassination as their primary tactics. Cities across Iran became battlegrounds for bombings, armed attacks, and targeted killings
In September 2012, a stir arose during the relocation of the Mojahedin-e Khalq organization (aka MEK, MKO, PMOI). Previously housed in a military base provided by Saddam Hussein, the MEK was on the move to a new location near Baghdad. An Iraqi news agency, Iraq Independence News Agency, claimed the Italian government, acting on a foreign ministry plan, had accepted some members of this controversial group onto Italian soil, with plans for more to follow.
Verifying this claim proved difficult
