Iran allegedly sets up to $40,000 bounty on captured, killed US soldiers for Iranian citizens and others

What is the definition of a rogue state?

What are theocracies capable of in the name of God?

This measure actually speaks of distrust in their own people!

"Iran has reportedly offered a reward of up to $40,000 to any citizen who captures or kills an American soldier, according to Iran's Army Spokesperson Mohammad Akraminia in a video circulating on social media on Tuesday. ...

He said the reward would double to $40,000 if the citizen is a woman. ...

“Furthermore, I believe that if people from countries in the region were to do the same, that is, succeed in taking down or capturing an American soldier, we could award this prize to them as well,” Akraminia said. ..."

Iran allegedly sets up to $40,000 bounty on captured, killed US soldiers | The Jerusalem Post "This is not the first time Iran has put out a bounty on US troops. In August, Iranian Army Commander-in-Chief Amir Hatami announced a similar $30,000 reward."

Iran’s Kurdish and other Opposition forces to the theocracy in Iran Have United

Good news! Were it not for the joined domestic and abroad Iranian opposition that the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was toppled in 1979, but unfortunately the Islamists took control/over and established a theocratic dictatorship.

Let's hope and pray that the days of the Islamic Republic of Iran are numbered!

"The Iran Freedom Congress (IFC) was founded in London in March 2026 to bring together opponents of the Islamic Republic around two goals: increasing political and economic pressure on the regime and preparing for a democratic transition if it falls. Its members have engaged with European lawmakers to push for measures including limiting financial ties with Tehran and pressuring the regime over executions, while also confronting the question of what should replace it and how a transition should be managed.

The Congress is not a government-in-exile, and participation does not require its members to agree on every political issue. It is an Iran-wide opposition platform that brings together political parties, civic groups, and individual figures to develop common positions on Iran’s future. Among its participants are three parties from Iran’s Kurdish region, known among Kurds as Rojhelat, or Eastern Kurdistan.

Those Kurdish parties are simultaneously part of another, narrower political project. In February, most of the major parties from Rojhelat formed their own coalition in an attempt to coordinate Kurdish political strategy after decades of rivalry. ..."

Iran’s Kurdish Opposition Has United. Can the Coalition Hold? "The parties agree on opposing the Islamic Republic. They are less clear on what acting together actually requires."

On the persecution of female Baha'i believer in Iran

Make no mistakes about Iran under the theocratic dictatorship!

"... She was jailed because she is a Baháʼí.

The Baháʼí Faith is a global monotheistic religion founded in 19th-century Persia by Baháʼu’lláh. It teaches the essential worth of all major religions, the unity of humanity, and the harmony of science and religion. Baháʼís are persecuted in Iran because the Islamic Republic views the religion as a “deviant cult” and a political threat. ..."

Iran demands Big Tech pay fees for undersea Internet cables in Strait of Hormuz

More evidence, the warmongering, terrorism sponsoring and nuclear weapons developing fanatic, suicidal mullahs in Iran are totally insane or megalomaniac!

Is this a threat to cut the undersea cables?

Be glad, Israel and President Trump exposed it!

"... The latest assertions of Iranian authority over the Strait of Hormuz were announced in a brief statement by Ebrahim Zolfaghari, a spokesperson for Iran’s military and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. “We will impose fees on internet cables” Zolfaghari wrote in a May 9 post. It was not immediately clear how Iran might implement such fees or impose its rules on cable projects, given that the majority of routes pass through Oman-controlled waters. ..."

6 Iranian men About to be Executed Sing a Message to the World About the Deadly Regime

If confirmed, this is amazing news! How was this leaked?

FrontPage magazine did a very lousy job to present this story! E.g. the original news article was not mentioned, most of the salient details not mentioned!

Caveat: I did not listen to the song (song appears to be in Farsi language).

"Smuggled video from inside an infamous Iranian prison captured the moment six dissidents broke into song to defy the Islamic regime one last time before they were hanged.

The six men, all executed for their alleged actions against the regime, were seen standing in a courtyard at the notorious Ghezel Hesar prison as they made their final stand with a song of resistance, The Sunday Times reported.

“Your rival stands before you now, hardened in the flame — I am the faith, I am revolt, with belief I take my stand — I’ve sworn an oath upon my blood, the tyrant’s throne shall shatter,” the men calmly sung. ...

Ghobadi, 33, was confirmed to be executed on March 31 after he was allegedly tortured by the regime, which accused him of armed rebellion against the state, according to Amnesty International. 

Baniamerian, 33, who was accused of the same crime, was featured in another smuggled video in a direct address to then Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

“To the Supreme Leader who wants to execute us to create fear in society. I want to remind you that I and those like me rose from the blood of freedom-loving youth,” he said before being executed on April 4.  

Baniamerian and his fellow death row inmates also penned a manifesto calling on others to follow their path of resistance against the Islamic regime in order to free Iran in the future. 

“So if fate decrees that you execute us hundreds of thousands of times again, in the hope of the victory of a democratic republic and the freedom and flourishing of this captive homeland, we will stand firm in our rebellious position,” their note read. 

All six men were accused of being members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), the country’s main opposition movement. ..."

Iranians About to be Executed Sing a Message to the World About the Deadly Regime | Frontpage Mag "A final song of resistance against the terrorist regime."

Defiant Iranian protesters sing in harrowing video before being hanged: ‘The tyrant’s throne shall shatter’

Smuggled video reveals defiant song of hanged Iran protesters  (behind paywall) "As Tehran executes dissidents at ‘unprecedented’ speed, footage and manifestos obtained by The Sunday Times show the final resistance of the condemned"

"These 6 men, just before they were executed by the Islamic Regime, sing a final song of Resistance against the terrorist regime."

The six political prisoners were identified as (from left) Vahid Baniamerian, Babak Alipour, Abolhassan Montazer, Pouya Ghobadi, Akbar Daneshvarkar and Mohammad Taghavi.

Iranians were promised regime change. Many of them feel betrayed. Really!

Sometimes Wall Street Journal produces quite some nonsense/garbage like this headline!

It is entirely up to the Iranian people to finally free themselves from the theocratic tyranny that ruled the country since 1979! If they are unwilling to make a regime change that is their fault!

"They are grappling with the possibility that the war will end with them living under the same authoritarian rule and crushing international sanctions, but in devastated cities with an aggrieved government that has vowed to take an even harder line against dissent. It’s shaping up to be the second time this year they have seen the U.S. retreat on promises of regime change."

Iran’s leading resistance fighter Maryam Rajavi answers six key questions about future of her country

Very recommendable! Hope and pray for the Iranian people to finally get rid of the theocratic dictatorship!

"... How do these uprisings differ from those in 2019 and 2022?

According to Rajavi, this current uprising displays a dramatic increase in organization, focuses on dismantling centers of repression, and has expanded nationwide across Iran's largest cities and smallest towns, involving all 31 provinces and at least 207 cities.

Rajavi told Just the News, "Unlike the 2022 uprising, which was sparked by the regime’s killing of Zhina (Mahsa) Amini and initially revolved around the issue of compulsory hijab, and unlike the November 2019 uprising, which was triggered by the shock of gasoline price hikes, today’s uprising is not tied to a single incident or a specific, short-term demand. This movement is the product of a long accumulation of anger, political awareness, and collective will for regime change. It is therefore not a transient explosion, but a conscious movement with an explicitly overthrow-oriented character." ...

The primary organized resistance is the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK) and its Resistance Units, a movement with six decades of uninterrupted struggle against both the Shah's dictatorship and the current regime.

According to Rajavi, the atrocities against MEK are devastating. "More than 100,000 of its members and supporters have been executed or killed under torture, including 30,000 political prisoners hanged in the 1988 massacre solely for remaining loyal to the MEK. ...

If and when an overthrow happens, how long will it take to restore order, and how will the process unfold? 

"With a deeply rooted, organized, and nationwide resistance inside the country and a recognized democratic alternative, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), the transfer of sovereignty from dictatorship to the people can take place in an orderly, peaceful, democratic, and law-based manner. What makes this transition possible is not merely the fall of the regime, but the existence of a ready political and executive framework for “the day after,” and that is precisely what the NCRI has prepared for years." ...

The NCRI’s vision includes complete gender equality, separation of religion and state, autonomy for Iranian Kurdistan, judicial independence, and freedom of parties—principles outlined in the Ten-point Plan for a Free Iran presented more than two decades ago. ...

Given Iran's dynamic and freedom-loving culture of the 1970s, will Iranians naturally return to that after the regime falls, or have decades of repression made that difficult? 

"Iran possesses a rich, millennia-old culture that both monarchical and religious dictatorships have tried to deform and destroy. That is why the Iranian people reject both systems. The overthrow of this regime will therefore herald a cultural, social, and political renaissance—most notably a devastating blow to Islamic fundamentalism, for which this regime has been the global epicenter. Women will play a central role in this transformation and are its primary driving force." ..."

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian Declares “Total War” on West

Bad news going into 2026!

The Middle East and the world would be a much better place without the militaristic, belligerent theocracy and dictatorship in Iran in power since 1979! 
When will the Iranian people finally get rid of being governed by an authoritarian regime since 1941.

"Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declared his country is in a “total war” with the U.S., Israel, and Europe, claiming the conflict is worse than the devastating 1980s Iran-Iraq war.

The statement comes six months after Israel and the U.S. struck Iranian military and nuclear sites in a 12-day war that killed over 1,000 people, followed by UN sanctions orchestrated by France, Britain, and Germany over Tehran’s nuclear program.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet President Trump on Monday at Mar-a-Lago to pitch new strikes on Iran’s rebuilt ballistic missile facilities.

Pezeshkian warned that any renewed Israeli attack would face “a more resolute stance,” while claiming Iran’s military is now stronger than before June’s conflict."
