Iran has executed 650 people in Q1 2026. The methods of execution include, but not limited to:
Hanging, Iran will sometimes use cranes in public settings to hoist the bodies up high so others can see. Or they will do a regular hanging however the victim doesn't have a long 'drop' so they suffocate to death.
Stoning for cases of adultery, where the woman is raped meaning the husband believes the woman cheated on him. The stones are to be large, but not large enough to kill the victim in one throw. Therefore multiple stones will need to be used.
In lesser degrees there is 'falling from height' and last but not least 'firing squad'.
Homosexuality is a public hanging and one of the worst offenses in the eyes of God. Next to a woman being raped or committing adultery, Iranian govt does not make a distinction between the two.
The U.N has issued a statement.

I have a distant family member who was hung from a crane over the main road so everyone who knew him and many others drove/walked by and watched his body decay and rot over the course of weeks. Women who are executed are repeatedly raped before their executions. R*** is almost never punished for men, only for the woman who was raped so they see nothing wrong with raping women who have already been convicted of adultery or whatever the charge is. Currently they are using child soldiers to man checkpoints that have been attacked by bombs and separatist groups. I could go on and on really.

This is what struck me as odd (it's 5am I cant think of a better word right now) as I remember some lady got reported for not wearing a Hijab and then was raped by the guards like make it make sense. So the guards have done Zina because she didnt wear the hijab. My brain couldnt handle the inconsistency/hypocrisy that goes on. I just wanted to chime in when I saw your comment about women being raped just before they're executed it baffles my mind

If they are not virgins and have sex outside their marriage they do not go to heaven. That's the reasoning at least that is used. Realistically it's because they have the power to do so and not be held accountable.

Depends. If you're not a virgin because of marriage, that's fine. You can still go to paradise if you don commit any sins. But if you had sex before marriage? Straight to hell. Unless of course you're a dude, in which case they can't actually tell (they can't for women either, but they still do virginity tests). Some families even request a virginity test for the girl before marriage (usually the groom's family). It's not unheard of for girls to either bribe the doctors or ask for reconstructive surgery for a hymen...
Edit to add that the last part is unfortunately a bit of a "culture" thing that I'm sure was influenced by religion. Like it's not something only the regime or their supporters do. Many families do, although not as many in recent times. None of my friends were put through this for example, but I've heard of this from older cousins and siblings of friends.

The people shot down on the streets or when Basij fire into residential buildings indiscriminately aren't included in these execution numbers. They're on top of these.

Iran is theocracy following Shia Islam. You need to be a man strictly supporting everything Supreme Leader says, following specific cult, God and religion is their law, you can't critique anything, because you would criticize their religion that way, women are treated like household items to be owned.
Once you don't fit that specific mould, penalties may very, they will tolerate people following Christianity, but something like homosexuality is death penalty.
It doesn't mean that all people in Iran are bad, it means their government is evil. Some people confuse it, so they believe if some Iranian people they know are cool, then Iran has to be cool as well.

I think that the Iranian regime is cruel and repressive.
I also think that the US and Israel had a half-assed plan to oust the Iranian regime by killing Khamenei without consulting other allies. Hegseth and Trump have also threatened that they would commit war crimes, criticized allies for not cleaning up their mess, and interrupted fuel and fertilizer shipments thereby risking famine in poorer countries.
I don't know what I think of this new development, honestly. Yes, it puts pressure on Iran's economy, and therefore its ability to sustain this conflict. But I think that Iran will tolerate a lot more pain than America, especially if China is supplying weapons. China may also retaliate for having its shipments interrupted and Russia still benefits from the total blockade.
But sure, it's all anti-American propaganda.

And for me there is absolute no link between the two, because the Americans did not start a war to prevent executions in Iran, same as they did not invade Irak because they had wmd.
And they surely did not remove Mossadegh from power to help Iranian people in 1953.
So while I think it is important to report this information on how Iran government is run, immediately linking it to American war is off topic.

It's VERY POSSIBLE FOR THEIR TO NOT BE A GOOD SIDE, in fact..in war there often isn't. That being said, the islamic regime in Iran needs to go, it's beyond disgusting. I felt terrible complaining about Alex Pretti and Good when my GF lost people she grew up with and thousands of her own people to their government, but she assured me it was more than ok to feel terrible about that just because something arguably worse was going on elsewhere.

Bots would not for example explain European political leaders who seem inclined not to do anything that might be detrimental to the Iranian regime. In fact it seems they are doing some things to help it. That is not bots. Redittors, like Europeans support Iran. When you call them on it you get the same response "two things can be true at once". Yet they never speak out against the Iranian regime except when called out on it. Funny how they are more critical of the U.S. and were silent when 35,000 Iranian civilians were slaughtered a little more than a month ago and shows they are quiet about the Iranian regime even with atrocities of such a magnitude and have to be called out on it to even get them to say anything. It shows where their real priorities lay, hating the U.S. and practically speaking, by their actions, providing help to the Iranian regime. And they do. To be honest they are pro Iran and are lying through their teeth as their actions do not show any animosity towards the regime unless explicitly forced to do so.

And people on listnook are gonna tsk tsk this away because USA did this or Israel did that.
Iran is an evil ass country. Just because another country does whatever doesn't make what Iran does acceptable.

Who is saying that what Iran does is acceptable? This is a strawman that jingoistic neocons come up with to justify an unwise war.

But don’t let that worry you - our president says they are a much more reasonable regime than the old one.

Yeah, f*** the current regime. The IRGC is a horrible totalitarian government that brutally represses its own people. That doesn’t mean that the west should bomb them or invade them though.

Well, it does mean that, unless you're also willing to say "F*** the 50000+ people that were arrested and who will be executed after they massacred 30000+ in january"
Because, unless the regime is destroyed... A LOT more people will die in iran. And yes, bombing the people who cause the massacre is EXACTLY how you stop that. Recent hengaw data shows massive military losses compared to much lower civilian; Meaning the USA & Israel is doing exactly what's necessary.

Why isn't the US invading Russia, or Sudan, or Haiti, or North Korea if it cares so much about saving innocent people? I guess all the manipulation of the oil market is just a coincidence....as is the threats to invade Greenland which has rare minerals.

Don’t be fooled. No one in their right mind supports the IRGC.
They are actively using bot accounts to sow spite between left and right in America, drive in another wedge.
Be on guard

It's more than just bots. In an ideal wolrd progressive subs should be very vocal in calling out oppression around the world.
In practice does not work like that unfortunately. We are tribal people and because of that many people are unable to hold naunced views on topics

Yea we might bicker about Trump this and Trump that, sure. We got differences in opinion.
But this is a hot war. There’s a real enemy that is fighting an asymmetric war against us.
You’ve seen the Lego Slop videos, you’ve seen Iranian embassy posts from all around the world.
These are not stupid people, and they will use every manipulation in the book to sway the US citizens.
They know exactly why US loses wars: because the home front loses support and they have to pull out.
I say all this as a vehement ideological opponent to Trump and his policies and war.
But we have to realize that there’s a real enemy involved now.

Literally every pro-palestinian I've seen supports this regime. They held a whole funeral for Khamenei in New York. What are you talking about?
