Iran's Rights in the Caspian Sea Are Not Negotiable.
The Islamic Republic, amid profound structural weakness and a deep crisis of legitimacy, is seeking to advance and implement the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea (the Aktau Convention). This effort, undertaken without the mandate of the Iranian people and without a clear and comprehensive guarantee of Iran's historic rights, is deeply concerning and constitutes a serious threat to Iran's national interests.
Under the 1921 and 1940 treaties between Iran and the Soviet Union, the legal regime governing the Caspian Sea was founded on the parties' shared rights and the principles of mutual agreement and common interests.
Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the newly independent states reaffirmed, in the Alma-Ata Declaration (December 1991), their commitment to the treaties of the former Soviet Union and to fulfilling the international obligations arising from those agreements through the successor states.
Accordingly, any fundamental change to the legal status of this strategically vital body of water must be made with the agreement of all littoral states and with full respect for Iran's rights.
However, the Aktau Convention provides for the conclusion of bilateral and multilateral agreements among the littoral states concerning portions of the seabed and subsoil of the Caspian Sea, areas that were previously part of the shared waters of Iran and the Soviet Union.
This sets a dangerous precedent. By circumventing the principle of consensus among all littoral states, it effectively weakens Iran's historic position and diminishes the country's role in determining the future legal status of the Caspian Sea.
Since the signing of the Aktau Convention in 2018, I have repeatedly warned that "national interests cannot be safeguarded from a position of weakness." At the time, I also stressed that the criminal clique ruling the Islamic Republic sacrifices the interests of the Iranian nation and homeland for its own survival, and that its foreign policy repeatedly resorts to concessions and appeasement from a position of weakness.
My position on the current process remains unchanged. I consider the Islamic Republic's attempt to ratify this convention to be contrary to Iran's national interests.
No decision concerning Iran's resources, borders, or sovereign rights in this strategic body of water can possess legitimacy without the genuine participation and consent of the Iranian people. Iran's rights in the Caspian Sea are not negotiable, nor can they be relinquished. Any action that undermines these rights will be recorded in the historical memory of the Iranian nation, and those responsible will ultimately be held accountable by the people of Iran.
Urgent: Iranian political prisoners Shervin Bagheri, Ghaem Hosseini, Amirhossein Maleki, and Ali Dashti have been moved to solitary confinement for execution in Isfahan.
The Islamic Republic is murdering Iran’s innocent youth.
Be their voice before it’s too late.
URGENT: Reports indicate that the Islamic Republic is preparing to publicly execute several protesters in Isfahan.
Families of death-row protesters have reportedly been summoned for final visits. The lives of Amirhossein Safari, Abolfazl Sepahi, and Alireza Sepahi are at imminent risk.
The world must act NOW to stop these executions.
چهل و شش سال از درگذشت پدرم میگذرد، اما او امروز زندهترین چهره سیاسی در پیشگاه تاریخ و دل ایرانیان است.
شعله عشق ملت ایران به او روز به روز بلندتر و فروزانتر میشود. همانطور که جاویدنام مجیدرضا رهنورد به نیابت از میلیونها جوان ایرانی نوشت: «نسلی عاشقت شد، که تو را هرگز ندید».
پدرم با تمام وجود، عاشقِ ایران بود. قلب او با طبیعت این خاک میتپید و باریدن باران بر دشتهای ایران، برایش بهترین و زیباترین خبر بود.
او در ۲۲ سالگی، کشور را در شرایط دشوار اشغال متفقین تحویل گرفت و با تکیه بر میهنپرستی، ایران را به سوی دروازههای تمدن بزرگ هدایت کرد. اگر فاجعه ۵۷، مسیر تاریخ ما را منحرف نمیکرد، ایران امروز یکی از درخشانترین قطبهای رفاه و توسعه در جهان بود.
هممیهنانم، اگر به راه او باور داریم، مسئولیت بزرگی بر دوش ماست. برای وفاداری به نگاه او، ما باید ایران را از این فرقه تبهکار پس بگیریم و آن را دوباره بسازیم.
پاینده ایران

Just as the Nazi regime was not synonymous with the German people, the Islamic Republic is not synonymous with the Iranian people. True patriotism is standing alongside the Iranian people and their courageous struggle for freedom, prosperity, and the reclaiming of the homeland, not defending a regime that has stolen the life and strength of our land for 47 years.
. @LauraLoomer You’ve been one of the strongest voices supporting a free Iran and @PahlaviReza.
An interview with Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi would be one of the most important conversations about Iran’s future, millions of Iranians would watch.
Would you consider it?
My fellow Iranians, the great and courageous people of Iran,
Today, as tensions rise and the possibility of escalating military attacks grows, particularly in the south of the country, I wish to speak with you; especially with the noble people of Sistan and Baluchestan, Hormozgan, Bushehr, Khuzestan, and all those living along the shores of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Makran.
The war and crisis our country faces today has one single cause: the Islamic Republic.
But the main war, the Islamic Republic's war against the Iranian people, began forty-seven years ago and has continued to this day.
All of the Iranian people have been wounded by this regime. Let us not allow anyone to say that southern Iran has only now entered the war. Southern Iran entered the war from the very day that Baluch children fell victim to crocodiles seeking water due to a lack of basic infrastructure; from the day that in Sistan and Baluchestan, the land of Rostam and the heart of Iran's mythology, young people were forced into fuel smuggling just to survive; from the day that Hormozgan province and Bandar Abbas, Iran's largest port, were abandoned to poverty and deprivation; from the day that Bushehr, which supplies a large share of the country's gas, and Khuzestan, the heart of Iran's oil industry, were deprived of the wealth they produced.
But a free Iran will be a different Iran.
With the establishment of a national, capable and development-oriented government, Sistan and Baluchestan, drawing on its strategic location, its young workforce, and its access to open waters, can become one of the main engines of the country's growth and prosperity. Chabahar can be the heart of Iran's trade and the gateway connecting the Indian Ocean, Central Asia, and global markets, by reviving the very same comprehensive plan that was to be implemented before the catastrophe of 1979.
Hormozgan, Bushehr, Khuzestan, and the islands of the Persian Gulf can, through the development of trade, tourism, industry, and the attraction of investment, become the wealthiest and most advanced regions of Iran.
My fellow Iranians,
This warmongering regime has built no shelters for the people, nor does it have the capacity to defend the country's skies. Its leaders, hiding underground, are making military use of schools, hospitals, and other civilian centers, and have turned the Iranian people, including conscript soldiers in their garrisons, into human shields.
In the war that the Islamic Republic has imposed on the country, your first and most important duty is to preserve the lives, safety, and wellbeing of yourselves and your families. For you are Iran's most precious asset and the true soldiers of the battle to reclaim the homeland.
In this regard, my communications and media office will be publishing necessary guidance and recommendations to help keep fellow Iranians safe.
Fighting toward and preparing for ultimate victory is a constant duty. In the final battle, the stronger we are and the weaker the Islamic Republic becomes, the faster and less costly our victory will be.
Long live Iran.
“Warning of the Imminent Execution of 12 Political Prisoners and Lion and Sun National Revolution Detainees in Isfahan.”
Erfan Esfandari, 18, and Gol-Mohammad Mohammadi, 23, an Afghan national, were executed today.
Both had been sentenced to death in connection with the “Alikhani Square” case in Isfahan and were among those arrested during the January 2026 Lion and Sun National Revolution.
In recent days, reports had emerged that those convicted in this case had been transferred to solitary confinement, raising grave concerns that their executions were imminent.
The reports that 12 political prisoners, including 10 people detained in connection with the January uprising, known as the Lion and Sun National Revolution, have been transferred from the general ward of Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan to solitary confinement, amid credible fears that they may soon be executed, are deeply alarming.
These developments suggest that the criminal regime of the Islamic Republic may once again be preparing to commit a grave and irreversible crime against the people of Iran.
According to available information,
Alireza Sepahi,
Abolfazl Sepahi,
Ghaem Hosseini,
Shervin Bagherian,
Amirhossein Safari,
Amirhossein Maleki,
Ali Dashti,
Abolfazl Ebrahimi,
Alireza Raeisi,
and Amirhossein Ebrahimi Analoucheh,
who were arrested in connection with the Lion and Sun National Revolution in Isfahan, are at imminent risk of execution.
We call on the international community, democratic governments, and human rights organizations to act with the utmost urgency and to use every available legal, diplomatic, and political means to prevent these irreversible acts of injustice.
The Islamic Republic must be held fully accountable for any harm inflicted on these political prisoners.
We also call on Iranians, human rights defenders, civil society leaders, political figures, and people of conscience around the world to amplify the voices of these prisoners and do everything within their power to help save their lives.
The use of the death penalty as an instrument of political repression is a flagrant violation of the most fundamental principles of human rights and justice.
Those who order or carry out unlawful executions should be under no illusion that impunity will last forever.
In a free and democratic Iran governed by the rule of law, those responsible will be held individually accountable before an independent judiciary, in accordance with due process.
The Islamic Republic’s reliance on executions to spread fear and silence freedom-seeking Iranians is not a sign of strength. It is evidence of a regime that has lost its legitimacy and now depends on terror for its survival.
The people of Iran have repeatedly demonstrated that they reject tyranny and aspire to a future founded on liberty, justice, and national dignity.
That future belongs to the Iranian nation.
A free Iran will be built on the rule of law, respect for human rights, and the equal rights and inherent dignity of every citizen.
پیام یک ایرانی از مزار جاویدنام امید سرلک، به رئیسجمهور آمریکا:
«پرزیدنت ترامپ، با این رژیم فاسد مذاکره نکنید. با شاهزاده رضا پهلوی، تنها آلترناتیوی که ما مردم ایران به رسمیت میشناسیم گفتوگو کنید.»
