Iran has suffered double-digit inflation for more than four decades, putting the country in a state of extreme poverty and its population trying to cope with dire economic and social issues. Despite negotiations and meetings between officials, little has been done to help the Iranian people, despite the Iranian regime’s claims that there is hope for resolving the current challenges.

For nearly two years, Iran has been in complete violation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA. During that time, it has not only restored but also greatly exceeded the levels of nuclear enrichment it had prior to the negotiations that led to the 2015 agreement, enriching some uranium to 60 percent fissile purity, putting it just one technical step away from the 90 percent required for a nuclear warhead.

The anniversary of Reyhaneh Jabbari’s hanging execution in 2014 is October 25. Reyhaneh is a symbol for Iran’s defenseless women who are sentenced to death without due process. At the same time, she has become a symbol for courageous women who refuse to submit to the dictates of the Iranian authorities.
