Iran 'Threatens' US Aircraft Carrier Lincoln - EU Presses for Victims

Iran is at the center of international tensions, with authorities unveiling a new sign in Tehran warning the United States against any military action, depicting a damaged US aircraft carrier. Simultaneously, Iran-backed groups, such as Kataib Hezbollah in Iraq, are threatening “total war” if Iran is attacked. The US has moved ships to the region “for all contingencies”. Domestically, the Iranian regime faces serious accusations of human rights violations, with the UN Human Rights Council discussing the deteriorating situation in a special session. Amnesty International denounces “brutal militarized repression” to cover up mass killings in protests, with mass arrests, disappearances, and attacks on families of victims. Iranian officials are leaking information to Western media about the barbaric repression, while reports speak of signs of failure of the theocratic system under Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. This internal pressure is compounded by international pressure, including new sanctions from the US on companies linked to Iran. The European Parliament, for its part, condemns Iran’s brutal repression and declares its support for the people demanding freedom, dignity and democracy. “End the repression, release political prisoners, impose sanctions on the regime and allow UN investigations, now,” they state.
