According to multiple reports, including a comprehensive study by the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI), Iran’s repressive, despotic Islamic regime has carried out hundreds of executions in 2025. More than 100 of these took place in a wave of repression following the 12-day Israel–Iran war. CHRI warns that 10 political prisoners face imminent execution, with nearly 70 others at high risk. “All after grotesquely flawed judicial proceedings marked by fabricated charges, lack of evidence, denial of counsel and due process rights, torture, and forced false confessions—is a human rights emergency that the international community should be aggressively addressing in all diplomatic channels and forums,” CHRI declared. “At least 730 people have been executed in Iranian prisons over the past seven months, including 102 in July alone,” the Abdorrahman Boroumand Center for Human Rights has reported, adding, “The report was released a few days after the UN Human Rights Office said at least 612 people were executed in the first half of 2025, more than double the number recorded in the same period last year.” “These executions in Iran are nothing less than state-sanctioned murders based on fabricated charges, coerced confessions, and secret proceedings,” CHRI executive director Hadi Ghaemi said. “They constitute grave and irreversible human rights violations, and the absence of sustained international pressure has allowed the Islamic Republic to continue these killings with impunity.” In addition, the Iranian regime is attempting to cover up its crimes during the state massacres of the 1980s by paving over the graves of people the regime murdered. The regime is doing so by “building a parking lot over Tehran’s Behesht Zahra cemetery where many of the bodies were dumped,” CHRI pointed out.

The Islamic Republic has learned it can kill huge numbers of its opponents—real or imagined—at will and without any real consequences. Until this ceases to be the case, this regime will continue to carry out mass killings, in the streets and at the gallows.” CHRI added: By paving over these graves, the Islamic Republic is destroying critical evidence of the atrocities it committed, such as in 1988, when it hanged and threw into mass graves some 5000 political prisoners, most of whom were already sentenced and serving their prison sentences. Numerous UN experts have stated these mass executions constitute a crime against humanity—and one in which there has never been any accountability by any official in Iran. Indeed, many of the officials involved went on to serve high-level positions in the Islamic Republic.  “For over four decades, the Islamic Republic has assiduously gone after family members seeking justice for many egregious state abuses—trying to intimidate and silence them so that they don’t publicize the state’s crimes and atrocities, or when they are not successful—punishing them with arbitrary arrest and detentions for trying to hold state officials accountable for unlawful deaths in the street, in state custody, or at the gallows,” CHRI asserted. “Destruction of grave sites and depriving the state’s victims and their families of the ability to mourn and memorialize, is just one among many ways that the Islamic Republic has sought to erase its crimes, avoid accountability, and punish those who seek justice. The graves of the victims of state massacres during the 1980s are not the only ones the Iranian authorities have destroyed. The graves of other mass killings during and beyond the 1980s have also been bulldozed, built over, or used as a garbage dump by the Islamic Republic.”

Rapper Lil Nas X has pleaded not guilty to four felony charges, including three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer, after he was arrested last week while wandering the streets of Los Angeles in his underwear. The 26-year-old recording artist, whose legal name is Montero Hill, was released from jail after posting $75,000 bail on Monday. He spent the weekend locked up after being arrested on Thursday, per an update from the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, and now has a hearing scheduled for September 15. “Attacking police officers is more than just a crime against those individuals but a direct threat to public safety,” Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman said. “Anyone who assaults law enforcement will face serious consequences, no matter who they are or how famous they may be.” The “Old Town Road” singer is also being required to attend Narcotics Anonymous meetings four times per week, as it’s suspected he was under the influence of drugs when the incident occurred.  The news release provided details about Hill’s arrest, noting how law enforcement was dispatched after being told the rapper was wandering Ventura Avenue in Studio City in his underwear just before 6 a.m. Hill proceeded to physically assault the responding officers and injured three of them, according to police. If convicted on all charges, Lil Nas X could face up to five years in prison. The rapper’s attorney, Christy O’Connor, defended her client, calling the allegations “an absolute aberration in his life.” “Nothing like this has ever happened to him,” she added. End of Summer Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships “He’s never been in trouble for a split second in his existence, we’re not going to let one little event change the trajectory of his amazing life,” another member of Hill’s legal team, Drew Findling, told The Hollywood Reporter.  “There’s no way to have a sense of what happened this immediately, but we’re going to look into it and do the right thing,” he said. “Anybody that has kids, you hear about things like this all the time. Don’t forget, he’s 26 years old. It’s not unusual for something like this to happen, particularly when you have the pressure of being recognized internationally like him.” The Atlanta-born recording artist burst onto the scene with viral hits like “Old Town Road” and “Industry Baby,” but quickly became controversial due to his provocative routines, which often included satanic imagery and messaging.  In 2021, he promoted 666 pairs of limited-edition ‘Satan Shoes’—unauthorized Nike Air Max 97s released alongside the Satan-themed hit “Montero.” That same year, Lil Nas X gave an over-the-top, sexually explicit performance of the song during the season finale of NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.”

It’s a love story, and baby, she said, “Yes!” Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are engaged and their families are thrilled. Many thought Travis would propose after Super Bowl LIX. But as we know, the Kansas City Chiefs took quite a beating that day and ultimately lost to the Philadelphia Eagles. Sure, it would have been nice if Travis won that third consecutive ring, but it wouldn’t compare to the rock he presented to Taylor during a fairy tale proposal. Fans hoped, and some even prayed, that Travis would be the one to finally make Taylor’s wildest dreams come true. No, we’re not crying, you’re crying.
