The death sentence of Manouchehr Fallah, a prisoner held at Lakan Prison in Rasht, has once again been upheld by the Supreme Court, and his case has been sent to the Rasht Criminal Sentences Enforcement Office for implementation. According to a report by Emtedad, the repeated upholding and overturning of his sentence has placed him under severe psychological pressure. Fallah was initially sentenced to death by Branch Two of the Rasht Revolutionary Court on charges of “destruction with the intent to oppose the Islamic government.” The basis for the sentence was damage amounting to 15 million tomans to the door of the Rasht courthouse. The original sentence was upheld by the Supreme Court, but after a retrial request, Fallah’s lawyer, Milad Panahi-Pour, announced in late 1404 that it had been overturned. The case was then referred for reconsideration to an equivalent branch, Branch One of the Rasht Revolutionary Court. Judge Darvish-Goftar once again issued a death sentence, which has now also been upheld by the Supreme Court. The transfer of the case to the sentences enforcement office has heightened fears that the sentence may be carried out. The published report did not specify a date for the execution. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

In Rasht, pro-government supporters attacked the Saharkhizan soup shop at night. In a video posted by the shop, a sign on the wall read, “Soup is free for people wearing hijab,” and as the camera panned, several veiled men could be seen standing in line. This became the pretext for raiding and vandalizing the shop. The incident happened on Sunday, 22 Shahrivar 405. The prosecutor immediately charged the shop, its manager was arrested, and the restaurant was sealed. But apparently this response wasn’t enough for the plainclothes forces: last night, they stormed the restaurant and trashed it. via pkhwshhal, yaghma_fashkham 📡 @VahidOnline

As the fourth anniversary of the state killing of Mahsa Zhina Amini approaches, reports from Isfahan, Rasht, Fuman, Mashhad, and Nishapur describe mounting pressure to impose compulsory hijab and the return of morality police vans, hijab enforcers, and plainclothes forces to the streets. A resident said a morality police van had been stationed at Ali Khani Square in Isfahan. Officers were arresting and taking away women without compulsory hijab “without any prior warning.” Another resident described Isfahan as “heavily securitized” and said morality police were stationed in areas including Jolfa, Mardavij, Chaharbagh, and Naqsh-e Jahan Square, confronting women without shawls or headscarves. Someone else wrote: “In Isfahan, it’s no longer morality police vans—it’s buses. They round up girls on buses and take them away. …” In Mashhad, too, armed forces entered Mellat Park on the evening of 22 Shahrivar and warned women about hijab. Several residents reported from Rasht that coercive enforcement of compulsory hijab has intensified in the city. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

“Atousa Jafari,” a 27-year-old woman from Sanandaj, was stabbed to death outside her family home on Sunday, 1 Shahrivar 1405. Local media and the Kurdistan Human Rights Network reported that Jafari was attacked as she left the house, before getting into her car to go to work, and was killed by multiple stab wounds. According to these reports, the perpetrator was Jafari’s husband or former husband. Local sources reported that she was killed with eight stab wounds. Conflicting accounts have emerged about Jafari’s marital status at the time of her death. The Kurdistan Human Rights Network reported that she had separated from her husband two years earlier and was living with her mother. Local media, however, wrote that for the past three years Jafari had gone to court seeking a separation, but her divorce petition had not been granted. According to local sources, during this period Jafari had repeatedly faced violence, beatings, and threats from her husband. On one occasion, her hand was broken as a result of a beating. The Kurdistan Human Rights Network wrote that Jafari worked for the postal service, held a master’s degree in criminal law, and was an instructor and referee in the “Kung Fu To’a” discipline. This is the second reported femicide in Kurdistan in a matter of days. On 29 Mordad 1405, “Latifeh Mohammadzadeh,” a 49-year-old woman from Saqqez, was stabbed to death by her former husband on a rural road in the county. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

May your tongue be cut off—you have sent an entire country to hell, and you have shown not a shred of wisdom or shame.” Mahsa Amini’s father ended his post by writing: “Our daughter’s name, alongside those of thousands of other innocent people, will live forever in the history of this country.” @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Axios: Trump Ordered the Military Not to Strike Iran on Friday Machine translation: Two sources familiar with the decision said President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. military on Friday not to carry out new strikes in Iran, bringing an end to a nearly two-week run of daily attacks. Why it matters: The president’s order came after he had approved attacks every day for the past 13 days. It is still unclear whether Trump’s order on Friday was a one-time decision or whether the pause will continue. ▪️ Trump’s decision signals both a willingness to give diplomacy more room and a judgment that the current level of U.S. attacks has reached the limits of its effectiveness—unless the U.S. returns to large-scale combat operations. ▪️ If Trump orders the attacks to resume, the U.S. military could be ready to carry them out in a relatively short time. ▪️ Sources said the U.S. military is still drawing up plans for a possible return to large-scale combat operations, but Trump has not yet ordered it to move in that direction. ▪️ The White House did not respond to a request for comment. What led to the news: Over the past two weeks, each afternoon Trump approved attack plans presented by the military, and the strikes were carried out within hours. ▪️ A similar plan was presented to Trump on Friday, but he did not approve it. Instead, sources said, he ordered the military not to strike. ▪️ Shortly after issuing the order on Friday, Trump told reporters at the White House that he could continue the attacks or even intensify them, including by “destroying everything they have.” ▪️ But he made clear that he believes the “smarter strategy” is to “make a deal” with Iran. ▪️ Trump said: “We’re talking to [the Iranians] right now. I think they’re getting more and more serious with each passing day. We’re fully armed and ready, but we’re talking to them.” ▪️ Later on Friday, in remarks at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, Trump said he did not think Iran was ready to make a deal at present, “but I’m ready to listen.” The latest: Trump’s order to halt the attacks came just hours after an Omani delegation arrived in Tehran on Friday to discuss new arrangements for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. ▪️ Two regional sources familiar with the negotiations said talks had made progress and a deal between Oman and Iran could be reached over the weekend. ▪️ After that, President Trump will have to decide whether to accept the proposed deal. Axios: Barak Ravid Trump’s decision signals both a willingness to give diplomacy more time and an understanding that—unless there is a return to large-scale combat operations—the current level of U.S. attacks has reached the limits of its effectiveness.

Excerpts from Trump’s interview, machine-translated: 🔴 Trump: Let me put it this way: I think people were wrong. I never thought [inaudible] could become fully armed. I never imagined there would be an uprising like this, because these are violent people. Their so-called leaders are extremely violent. They’re killers. They’ve killed 52,000 people. Remember that wrestler? He was one of the best wrestlers in the world. They killed him and two of his friends just because he said something that wasn’t even that critical of the government. They’re crazy. They keep killing them, because unless you do something, people will kill each other. 🌳 Hugh Hewitt: Can you—can the U.S. military or the Israeli military—get to what remains of their third-, fourth-, and fifth-tier leadership? Do you know where they are? Can you kill them? 🔴 Trump: Yes, I know, but we don’t want to talk about it. But we’re definitely keeping an eye on them. Yes, I know a lot about this. I know a lot, but I don’t think it’s appropriate to talk about it right now. But we’ll see. For example, tonight we’re going to hit them very hard, and tomorrow we’ll hit them hard too. There’s nothing they can do about it. They have nothing. They’re doing nothing except bragging. Well, I think they’re a little crazy; they’re all like that. We took out their first tier. Then we took out their second tier. Then we eliminated about 25 percent of this government. Their minds work a little differently. Yesterday we had an agreement, and it was supposed to be 100 percent finalized, but all of a sudden they got a call and they all ran out of the room. These people… these people are crazy. We had an agreement where we would have gotten everything we wanted. But basically, they break agreements, you know? They make agreements, and as far as they’re concerned, agreements are made to be broken. These are extremely unreliable people. Honestly, if they ever had a nuclear weapon, they’d use it within a day. 🌳 Hugh Hewitt: Can you—can the U.S. military or the Israeli military—get to what remains of their third-, fourth-, and fifth-tier leadership? Do you know where they are? Can you kill them? 🔴 Trump: Yes, I know, but we don’t want to talk about it. But we’re definitely keeping an eye on them. Yes. I know a lot about this. I know a lot, but I don’t think it’s appropriate to talk about it right now. We’ll see. For example, tonight we’re going to hit them very hard, and tomorrow we’ll hit them hard too. There’s nothing they can do about it. They have nothing. They’re doing nothing except bragging. 🌳 Hugh Hewitt: Go ahead, Mr. President. 🔴 Trump: Unfortunately, I did it because I got to know them. [Inaudible about the memorandum] is much better. You know, people say that at least I was reasonable, but I got to know them and realized they’re completely ruthless… 🌳 Hugh Hewitt: What was the memorandum your negotiators brought back? Was it a [inaudible] memorandum? Was it designed to fall apart? 🔴 Trump: It was designed to test them. It was a test. We didn’t know. Look, when you’re dealing with vile people, a memorandum doesn’t mean much. Even when you’re dealing with honorable people, it doesn’t mean much, because it’s just a memorandum. It doesn’t mean much. I said, why are we even doing this? It’s standard practice in America to first reach a memorandum and then move on to a final agreement. I said, go straight to a final agreement. But you know what? It was sort of a test, and they didn’t stand by it; they didn’t stick to the test. 🔄 He went on to say other things that aren’t in the video above: On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump said in an interview with Hugh Hewitt, a host and political analyst, that the U.S. military had targeted “Kuh-e Kolang” in Iran and would destroy it. Earlier, the news outlet Ynet revealed, after publishing new satellite images, that the secret underground site in the Zagros Mountains—which the International Atomic Energy Agency is not permitted to inspect—remains active. This raises questions about Tehran’s commitment to the recent memorandum of understanding not to develop nuclear weapons. @VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Mojtaba Karabi (Barsam) was shot directly on the evening of 21 Dey 1404 in Tehran’s Salsabil neighborhood and fell into a coma. The 30-year-old, who was born in Sabzevar, suffered brain death after being struck by a bullet and died a week later, on 29 Dey 1404, at Tehran’s Imam Hossein Hospital. His body was transferred to Sabzevar for burial. IranWire has learned that because the words “eternally remembered” were inscribed on his gravestone, officials from the Martyrs Foundation pressured his family to change them to “martyr.” After the family refused, Mojtaba Karabi’s (Barsam’s) gravestone was smashed. His family also decided not to place a gravestone on the young man’s grave until “the day of freedom.” Mojtaba Karabi was a bodybuilding coach, a fitness athlete, and an official powerlifting judge. A source close to his family told IranWire: “For several years, Mojtaba trained both practically and academically alongside his uncle, Rouhollah Nasiri, a well-known athlete from Razavi Khorasan. Through hard work and perseverance, he was able to begin his professional career as a coach and official powerlifting judge, with a recognized certification.” He was a fan of the Persepolis football team. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

In the diaper market, prices have increased between 70 to 100 percent; such that the price of a 20-piece pack of domestically produced diapers has risen from 104,000 tomans in Bahman month to 200,000 tomans. Other types of diapers, especially foreign and higher-quality products, are priced between 400,000 to one million tomans, and one type of 50-piece Turkish-made diaper is priced at approximately 3,375,000 tomans. @VahidOOnLine Alireza Mahjoub, Secretary-General of the Workers' House, a labor organization close to the official structure of the Islamic Republic, warned about the formation of a "new wave" of workforce reduction and layoffs on the occasion of International Workers' Day. Mahjoub said the received news about workforce reductions has been "beyond expectations" and it's still unclear to what extent the effects of unemployment from this situation will put pressure on the working community. @VahidOOnLine Alireza Mahjoub, Secretary-General of the Workers' House, on Friday, May 11th, coinciding with Workers' Day, warned about a new wave of workforce reduction, worker layoffs, and increased unemployment in a television program, referring to the country's special conditions. Mahjoub said: Based on reports we have, this year we will face a new wave of workforce reduction or layoffs. In another part of this conversation, Mahjoub reported the direct unemployment of 130,000 workers and the indirect loss of 600,000 job opportunities in the recent war, saying: "Large industrial units (steel and petrochemicals) and small industries dependent on them have suffered damage and been forced to reduce their workforce." During the American and Israeli attacks on Iran, some of Iran's major industries, including steel factories and petrochemical complexes, were targeted. @VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Media in Iran have reported the death of Abdullah Movahed, one of Iran's prominent and decorated freestyle wrestling figures. According to these reports, this former wrestling champion passed away on Wednesday evening, April 29, 2025, due to a heart attack in America. Abdullah Movahed, who was born on March 19 in Babolsar, was considered one of Iran's and the world's wrestling prodigies and with six world and Olympic gold medals, was one of the most decorated wrestlers in Iran's history. He is also enshrined in the World Wrestling Hall of Fame and is among the few wrestlers who maintained world championship titles for several consecutive years. Before entering wrestling, Movahed was active in sports such as swimming and volleyball, and then in Tehran, under the supervision of prominent wrestling coaches, he quickly reached the top level of this sport. His brilliance began in the mid-1960s and continued with winning the 1968 Mexico City Olympic gold medal and several world championship titles. He was a contemporary of Gholamreza Takhti and is known as one of the most technical wrestlers in Iran's history. Abdullah Movahed immigrated to America after his championship career ended. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Agents abducted Aida's body, and her family was only able to identify her remains in Kahrizak after two weeks had passed. In addition to the bullet wounds, there were traces of several stitches on Aida's abdomen. The family was forced to pay heavy fees to receive the body and were pressured not to declare the cause of death as being killed in the protests. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

IRNA: Google search engine has become accessible for some users of Hamrah-e Avval, Shatel, and Rightel. Previously, closing a website was considered news, now opening a website is considered news! This is the difference between #filtering based on blacklist (before) versus whitelist (now). The first one was called #filternet, and for the current situation, I don't think there's a more fitting name than #intershit!

Citizens from west #Tehran are reporting hearing a continuous concerning sound. Some of the messages: -The continuous loud sound isn't related to fighter jets.. it's a sound similar to a large air or gas tank bursting with air escaping from it....the sound has been going on for half an hour throughout the city..the source of the sound is towards west Tehran. - About half an hour ago in west Tehran on Azadi street there was a very terrifying sound then a strange sound that's still continuing. There's a smell like gas or sulfur. Neighbors say the main gas pipe has been hit, everyone is leaving - Monday 17 Farvardin 3:05 AM Selsebil Tehran we're still hearing the fighter jet sound. It's gone on so long that I'm starting to doubt, maybe it's the sound of the main gas pipeline that's burst - This sound has been going on for twenty minutes! Central Tehran Vahid for God's sake if anyone has said anything tell us we're dying from stress Monday 17 Farvardin Vahid why doesn't this sound stop, usually it comes for 5 to 10 minutes, now it's been half an hour and it's not stopping at all, it keeps coming continuously if it's the main gas pipe there's no explosion danger, the exit pressure is so high that the beginning of the flame starts at least 30 meters above the pipe surface I'm at Jeyhoun Hashemi intersection this sound has been coming since 2:40, now it's 3:18, it seems like a fighter jet because the sound gets distant and close Tehran. Azadi. Jeyhoun. After the sound, terrible explosion, continuous fighter jet sound. Now it's been half an hour. The sound also gets distant and close. When the sound gets close the windows shake a bit. Hello dear Vahid at 2:40 Tehran Setareh Khan bridge towards south there were sounds of several explosions and from Yadegar bridge some smoke came up but it was on the other side of the bridge towards Azadi and Tarasht I don't know where it was, now there's no fighter jet above us but that strange sound still exists plus the wind and storm are severe, but gas smell or other smell doesn't reach our side or at least not yet "towards Selsebil (Rudaki-Azerbaijan-Azadi) Tehran there's a continuous terrifying sound. At first I thought it was fighter jet sound. But I think it might be something else. The distance of the sound source is probably less than one kilometer. This sound has been going on for more than half an hour. I think it started after an explosion." I'm on Azadi street the sound has gotten very very loud and keeps coming what is this sound that's been coming since 2:40, a continuous uniform sound it's not a fighter jet, there's no precedent for a fighter jet being in the sky this much, it keeps getting close and distant 🔄 Now suddenly the sound stopped very strangely 3:25 the sound stopped the sound stopped completely. Right now. 03:25 Vahid the sound stopped, they closed the main valve apparently 😄 the sound suddenly stopped 3:25 if it was a fighter jet it wouldn't stop like this in one moment 📡 @VahidOnline
