President Donald Trump said at the White House on Monday that an attempt to get weapons to Iranian rebels had failed. Let’s hope the U.S. will continue to try to arm the resistance. Whoever is running the Tehran regime is aggressively hunting down dissidents and meting out swift injustice. Agence France Presse reports today: Since the war began on February 28, Iran has hanged seven people in connection with January protests, six convicted of membership of banned opposition group the People’s Mujahedin of Iran (MEK) and a dual Iranian-Swedish citizen on charges of spying for Israel. Rights groups have warned dozens more are at risk of execution over the January protests or after being arrested on suspicion of helping the enemy during the current war. “You need to speed up the issuing of sentences for executions and the confiscation of property,” judiciary chief Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejei told a televised meeting of senior judiciary officials… Two teenagers are among those who have been executed over the January protests, which were suppressed by authorities in a crackdown that left thousands dead, according to rights groups.
