The brilliant Comité soutien de Louis Arnaud #FreeLouisArnaud has written this incredibly moving ode to Evin prison in French. Press the translate button and read it in full if you can. I have read no better tribute after the bombing than this lemonde.fr/idees/article/…

I am a big fan of Matt Bevan 's ABC News pod If You're Listening so was delighted to be invited to come on as a guest. Here we talk about the Evin prison bombing, the dangerous incompetence of IRGC-Intelligence, prospects for regime change, the current crackdown inside Iran

Iran is believed to hold around 20 European nationals, many of whose cases have never been publicised, in what some Western governments including France describe as a strategy of hostage-taking aimed at extracting concessions from the West. Three Europeans, who have not been

For the first time I am genuinely fearful for the lives of Cecile and Jacques, French tourists held hostage in Iran since 2022. France really needs to step up now, in a massive way. With these new charges, and the devastating punishment they carry, Iran is escalating to a

"A new balancing act may now emerge, as GCC states engage with an Iran weakened by its inability to prevent Israel and the United States from penetrating its air defenses seemingly at will and by the steady dismantling of key elements of the ‘Axis of Resistance’ which noticeably

The regime of the Islamic Republic is exploiting this post-war period as a cover to carry out widespread repression with impunity. Under the guise of stability, they are intensifying crackdowns on dissent, targeting and detaining prominent opposition figures they view as threats

Remember when Tucker Carlson soft ball interviewed Putin? Pezeshkian, who cares. If you are so ill informed that you take foreign policy tips from someone like Carlson you're probably already a lost cause.

Iranian authorities failed to take even the most basic steps to safeguard those in their custody, instead responding with increased violence and repression. When the prison was bombed by Israel, inmates were left to rescue the wounded themselves amid fire and rubble. In the

The UK Parliament’s Intelligence and Security Committee has “warned that the Islamic republic has become a ‘full spectrum’ threat across assassinations, espionage, cyber-attacks and nuclear weapons.” politico.eu/article/iran-k…

Important and unprecedented message from former hostage Emad Shargi. This applies not just to Iranian-Americans but to Australians too, and citizens of any Western country, dual national or otherwise. Do not travel to Iran!

As Anthony Albanese prepares to depart for a 6-day state visit to China, I hope that he keeps Dr Yang Hengjun's unjust detention front of mind. Albanese must raise the fate of Yang, and other Australians imprisoned in China and Hong Kong, including Gordon Ng, with Chinese officials

Their son Joe Bennett told BBC Breakfast: "I want to be crystal clear, my parents aren't spies, they're not political players, they aren't criminals. They're Mum and Dad." bbc.com/news/articles/…

Interesting piece by Yeganeh Torbati consolidating what we know on Iran's posture on renewed US talks. Short🧵on why Tehran may be setting itself up for failure. - The Islamic Republic is signalling weakness by returning to talks so quickly after a war. 1/10 washingtonpost.com/world/2025/07/…
