Iran’s execution drive will draw sharper UN scrutiny as Trump keeps weaponizing the rial’s collapse.
This is the clearest high-stakes story in the window: domestic repression inside Iran is colliding with renewed external pressure from Washington.

Curated summary
Iran carried out public hangings in Isfahan last week, executing three young protesters tied to January anti-regime protests, while UN rights chief Volker Türk said at least 56 people have been executed on national security charges since March 19. In parallel, Donald Trump posted a graphic mocking the Iranian rial and saying Iran has “NO MONEY,” framing the currency’s slide as proof of sanctions pressure and Tehran’s isolation.
