Iran’s Savage Regime Sentences 19-Year-Old Girl to Public Execution for Protesting

The bloodthirsty mullahs ruling Iran are showing their true colors once again. Nineteen-year-old Saghar Gholami from Gonbad-e Kavus in Golestan Province now faces imminent public hanging after a sham trial.

Arrested in early February 2026 for taking part in January’s nationwide protests, she has been denied a lawyer, cut off from her family, and given no clear charges. This is not justice. It is pure terror designed to silence anyone who dares challenge the Islamic Republic’s iron grip.

The regime executed at least 1,639 people in 2025 alone, the highest number in decades, with dozens of women among the victims.

I was derided and have been here for making the claim that all these actions by Trump are aimed squarely at China.

This newest move from Trump confirms that he has a plan, has a timeline, and is thinking many steps ahead.

Trump removed Chinese influence over Panama Canal, took out Maduro, and gained control of Venezuela’s oil supply, because he knew this standoff with Iran would happen.

Anyone claiming Trump doesn’t have a plan or is dumb, is just objectively wrong. You might not like Trump or agree with his plan, but the fact that he has a plan, is incontrovertible.

All the pundits and “experts” were, are, and will continue to be, dead wrong about everything.

Tulsi Gabbard released documents showing the sham impeachment 1 was manufactured .

https://www.dni.gov/index.php/newsroom/press-releases/press-releases-2026/4154-pr-06-26

IC Inspector General Atkinson aggressively advanced a so-called “whistleblower’s” narrative, using a witness who co-authored the 2017 Russia Hoax, that was used as the basis for Trump’s impeachment

Main players
1.Eric Ciaramela
2.Alexander Vindman
3.Peter Strzok
4.Inspector General Atkinson
5. Adam Schiff
6. Nancy Pelosi.

I'll add Mary McCord as the Prime Mover who has had an incestual relationship careerwise with the Inspector General.

During his preliminary investigation into President Trump’s July 2019 phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, former IC IG Michael Atkinson did not follow standard IG procedures and relied upon politicized, manufactured narratives – only conducting interviews with four individuals: the Whistleblower, the Whistleblower’s friend who was a co-author of the January 2017 Russia Hoax Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) and close colleague of disgraced former FBI Agent Peter Strzok, and two character references who had zero firsthand knowledge of the July 2019 phone call.

If the Ayatollahs had a bomb they would use it. They are different from say North Korea Kim Jong Un who wants to live longer and neds the bomb to starve off any attempt to remove him from power
The Ayatollahs would love nothing more than be the ones who exploded a nuke on American or Israel soil,knowing that if they die in the process,Allah will reward them with 72 houris ( perpetual virgins)

Big difference,they are suicidal maniacs .A good chunk of the Islamic world would screech allahu Akbar for years to come. They will celebrate any loss of American or Israel life whether 10 times more Muslims die in the process.
You have seen many here hoping Dimona plant is hit ,and the nuclear fallout wipes Israel of which around 20 % are muslims.



FoolishBoy419:
No, the reason for this war is to install a puppet regime, completely destroy Iranian missile program, seize Iran's enriched uranium and completely disable Iran's ability to enrich uranium.

That said, you're right. Israel is fighting alongside a superpower that is willing to sacrifice itself and its Arab allies for them. But with the way things are going in the US, they'll not have that privilege for much longer.

Finally .. Prosecutors fired for their part in jailing those who protested outside Planned Parenthood baby murder clinics.They stretched the FACE Act

The Justice Department has fired at least four prosecutors who were involved in prosecutions under the FACE Act during the Biden administration, a government official familiar with the firings told CBS News.

Among those fired Monday is Sanjay Patel, a longtime federal prosecutor in the Civil Rights Division’s criminal section who was placed on administrative leave last month, sources told CBS News at the time. The terminations occurred at about the same time a report on the FACE Act and the Biden Justice Department was being finalized.

Congress passed the FACE Act in 1994 to address rising concerns about threats and intimidation that women were facing at reproductive health clinics. Nonviolent and first-time offenses of the law are misdemeanors, while repeat offenses or violations that result in bodily injury or death can be treated as felonies.

The FACE Act report is being drafted by the Justice Department’s “weaponization working group,” established in the first days of former Attorney General Pam Bondi’s tenure.

A Justice Department spokesperson said in a statement that the department “has terminated the employment of personnel responsible for weaponizing the FACE Act who still remained at the department.”

The judges should also be impeached and removed from office.

My view is that the Theory of Evolution is inchoate and does not account fully for life as we know it. There are certainly clear things it cannot account for such as sexual reproduction for example.
In that case it's easier to say that God is the creator, and creation is an ongoing process that didn't take seven days .
Much easier than raking your head over why evolution can't explain everything...... Or Jesus was just an ordinary man.....
Just my opinion

After all there is no dearth of people who believe that various men are God. You may have heard of Olumba Olumba Obu and his followership for example.

I don't know if you are making the familiar argument that the disciples willingness to die is evidence that Jesus truly was divine and resurrected. If you are, I don't support that argument because the same is true for many charismatic sect leaders. One can certainly remember a number of cult groups who subscribed to mass suicide for example.

However to be clear, Jesus remains one of my favourite people in many ways, certainly as a messenger from the Light. His teachings were elevated, high minded and profound and I would say he is rightly called the Prince of Peace. I simply don't believe the myths about him such as that he was born of a virgin (a common myth ascribed to many spiritual or mythical figures) or that he was God or the only begotten son of God (another common myth ascribed to many) or that he died for our sins or resurrected from the dead.

I believe he was a man and that he taught elevated moral principles for an elevated spiritual life. This however is only if he actually existed as portrayed in the gospels which is questionable. I think there is a strong possibility that what is portrayed may be a composite of several people and ideas.
All those are your opinions , everyone is free to believe whatever. You may as well argue that his disciples didn't see miracles like feeding 5000, raising the dead, walking on water, stopping storms ,healing the sick etc . They were hypnotized.

You can also argue that Paul formerly Saul was able to open more churches than Jesus disciples because he was a Roman citizen who was free to travel to every part of the Roman empire. Not because of his beliefs and faith

You are free to believe anything. You won't be the first neither the last.
You can also go ahead and say God didn't create you, in another million years there will be a new generation of primates who will have evolved into homo sapiens.
Evolution of the primates didn't suddenly stop with homo sapiens .

Everyone dies.
As for Jesus, if he existed, the story is clear. He was executed because of his unsettling role and disruptive teachings.
The disciples were all brutally executed for refusing to renounce Jesus
At least 9 of them who were witness to his death and Resurrection. The threat of death couldn't force them to stop preaching.
Their death fits into your theory Jesus was disruptive like chasing out money changers in a temple?

Brescia imam: “In our Islam, after age 9, a girl becomes a woman.”

An “Italian” imam named Ali Kashif went on TV and announced that girls who have reached nine years of age may be considered women, and are appropriate marriage material. The Italian government reacted in an sensible manner and expelled him from the country, putting him on a flight to his native Pakistan.

These words, spoken by the Brescia imam Ali Kashif into the microphones of the program “Out of the box”, have earned him expulsion from the country. It was the Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi who made the notification.

Subsequent to the expulsion order, he was placed on a flight from Milan’s Malpensa Airport and sent back to his country of origin.”Originally from Pakistan, Kashif had emphasized the legitimacy, according to the Koran, of marriage with young girls: “

The Islamic religion says that if the parents are happy and both are in agreement, they can marry even at the age of 9. In our Islam, after 9 years, a girl becomes an adult. In the Koran, it says that it can be done.”

The order was carried out by the police headquarters of Brescia on the instruction of the Ministry of Interior, which made the decision, citing reasons of security, the lack of a residence permit of the person in question, and his incompatibility with constitutional values.

From Fratelli d’Italia [Brothers of Italy, the party of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni], Member of Parliament Riccardo De Corato expressed “full support for the measure” in the face of “very serious statements”, to which the State must react “with firmness and without any hesitation”. And he added:

“Whoever thinks they can, in our country, justify barbaric practices, contrary to the dignity of the individual, the rights of minors, and fundamental principles of our legal system, needs to know that in Italy there is no room for fanaticism, for extremism, and for whoever disseminates messages incompatible with our legal system.

Iran calls the naval blockade an act of piracy.

Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarter:
If the security of the ports of the Islamic Republic of Iran is threatened, no port in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman will remain safe.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran consider defending the legal rights of our country a natural and lawful duty. Accordingly, exercising the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran in our territorial waters is the natural right of the Iranian nation.

Based on this, ensuring security in the territorial waters of the Islamic Republic of Iran by the devoted armed forces will continue firmly. As repeatedly stated, vessels affiliated with the enemy do not and will not have the right to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Other vessels, by observing the regulations of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, will continue to be permitted to transit the strait.

Furthermore, given the continuation of enemy threats against the Iranian nation and our national security, even after the end of the war, the Islamic Republic of Iran will decisively implement a permanent mechanism for controlling the Strait of Hormuz.

The criminal United States’ imposition of restrictions on maritime navigation in international waters is an illegal act and constitutes piracy.

The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran clearly and decisively declare that the security of ports in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman is either for everyone or for no one.

If the security of the ports of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman is threatened, no port in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman will remain safe.

“And victory is only from Allah, the Almighty, the All-Wise.”


As if them charging tolls for every passage through the straits shared by them,Oman and UAE is not piracy. You can't make this stuff up.😀😀😀

Are you aware many Trump appointed judges have ruled against him?
I would be aware, some EO may violate laws.
Most injunctions have been time delay tactics by lawfare judges, which snake their way to the Supreme Court and are ultimately thrown out after several months.
A judge can make a totally insane ruling and still be technically correct in the interpretation.


I posted that snippet just to show how insane some judges have become.

For instance Trump was temporary blocked from constructing the ongoing ballroom which is financed privately. In real sense the military is building a massive secret bunker underground , most of those donors also wanted to chip in. Nobody needs to know this after what happened to Khamenei.

Trump is wasting time.

A Biden or Obama Judge will block this until he sees evidence that
1. China has sent manpads to Iran
2. Iran has used the Chinese manpad to hit an American aircraft
3. The aircraft hit sustained damage, crashed and American personnel was injured or killed.
4. The manpad used above is confirmed to be of Chinese manufacture, delivered since Feb 28 this year.

Anyway he better try lest he is accused of not trying.
