OP-EDS_ The hanging of an Iranian activist exposes a regime at the end of its rope ( Majid Rafizadeh - WASHINGTON EXAMINER )

The hanging of an Iranian activist exposes a regime at the end of its rope

Iran’s judiciary announced on Wednesday that it had executed 26-year-old Mehdi Khanaki, a law graduate accused of active participation in the nationwide January 2026 uprising and membership in what the authorities described as a “terrorist group.” The regime’s Mizan news agency did not identify the organization by name. The National Council of Resistance of Iran, however, identified Khanaki as a member of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, or PMOI/MEK, saying he had been arrested in February after months of surveillance and subjected to severe physical and psychological torture before being sentenced to death.

According to the judiciary, Khanaki had obtained firearms, ammunition, and communications equipment shortly before the uprising, and weapons seized from him had been used during the protests. Whether intended as a judicial announcement or a warning, the message was unmistakable: Tehran was signaling that those who organize resistance against the regime will face the gallows.

By any measure, Khanaki’s execution is far more than another grim statistic. It is a calculated message from a regime terrified not of foreign conflict or spontaneous unrest, but of the organized movement capable of channeling that anger into democratic change.

WSJ: Bahrain, Kuwait Hit Iran in Rare Retaliation

Bahrain and Kuwait secretly sent fighter jets into Iran earlier this month to attack drone and missile facilities, marking their first known direct military retaliation against Tehran after weeks of Iranian attacks, according to people familiar with the operation.

The strikes targeted drone and missile storage depots and other military sites, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday, citing unidentified people familiar with the matter. 

The United Arab Emirates, which carried out several attacks against Iran earlier in the conflict, provided intelligence on the targets and defensive air cover for the operation, the report said.

Trump Orders Investigation Into EU Treatment of American Tech Companies

Billions of dollars in fines against American technology companies must be reversed, the president said.

President Donald Trump says his administration will open a formal investigation into the European Union’s trade practices, threatening new tariffs over billions of dollars in fines leveled against U.S. tech companies.

In a Truth Social post on Friday, Trump said the investigation would begin “immediately” under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which allows the president to protect U.S. businesses against unfair trade practices with tariffs and sanctions.

He accused the EU of “robbing” U.S. companies and, in turn, American taxpayers.

“The European Union is at it again and, as usual, taking direct aim at GREAT American Companies!” Trump wrote, referring to European enforcement actions over recent years against Google, Apple, Meta, and Amazon.

Boom: Elon Delivers Mic Drop Moment Against the Media During Fiery Interview

Elon Musk has shown that he's not afraid to call out the left on some of their horrible policies.

One of the things he has been most concerned about is standing against radical ideologies and preserving the constitutional principles we have in the West.

During an interview with The Economist's editor-in-chief, Zanny Minton Beddoes, Beddoes tried to paint him as "far right," because of his criticism of how the government has approached things like immigration in the United Kingdom. Musk shot that characterization down, saying it was normal to want secure borders, safe cities, and sensible spending.

"If people are coming to a country with antithetical views, I am against that," he said.

"I'm against rape and murder, I'm against the imposition of rules and laws that are contrary to what we've come to accept in the West," he continued, criticising the media for not understanding or reflecting this.

Beddoes tried to attack Elon Musk over that, saying, "You don't even live there!" She asked if he understood how some people "loathe you."

Trump Warns Xi, Putin to Stay Out of Iran; Expert Sees Escalation Coming

VIDEO

By Newsmax Wires | Friday, 24 July 2026 04:37 PM EDT

President Donald Trump on Friday issued an unusually direct warning aimed at Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, declaring that neither nation should become involved in the Iran war.

Trump said if they did, such a move would carry serious consequences.

In a lengthy Truth Social post, Trump said both leaders personally assured him they would not provide weapons to Tehran.

"President Xi, at our recent meeting in Beijing, China, told me that he would not, under any circumstances, give or sell Weapons to the Islamic Republic of Iran — And that statement included Chinese Companies. Considering our relationship, I take him at his word," Trump wrote.

The president added that Putin had made a similar commitment.

"Likewise, President Putin ... told me that he would not sell Weapons to Iran. ... Therefore, two major Countries that people speak of often in terms of Iran are, in my opinion, not participating," he continued.

"If they did, it would be very bad for them — Certainly not in their best interests."

Iran rejects latest cease-fire proposal as Trump considers ‘massive attack’: report

By Victor Nava
Published July 24, 2026, 2:13 a.m. ET

Iran reportedly rejected a new cease-fire deal Thursday that was presented by Iraq’s prime minister on behalf of President Trump.

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi – fresh off a White House visit and Oval Office meeting with Trump – brought the proposed deal with him to Tehran and presented it to top Iranian officials, who refused to entertain the proposal, according to the New York Times.

The terms of the rejected truce are unclear, but Iranian officials described it as the “only offer on the table” and a “temporary deal” that did not resolve the question of who would control the Strait of Hormuz, the outlet reported.

The US completed the 13th night of precision strikes further degrading Iranian military capabilities on July 23, 2026. CENTCOM

Commentary

CARLISLE, Pennsylvania—Jamie Dimon sat on the stage with President Donald Trump, Sen. David McCormick (R-Pa.), Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll, and investors. The CEO of JPMorgan Chase looked out at an auditorium filled with more than 1,500 people attending the inaugural Defense and Innovation Summit.

“God knows this is how you guys have ignited the American dream, and you’ve ignited security and resiliency,” Dimon said to Trump. Dimon’s unvarnished assessment is that of a man who understands that national strength is found in places like Pennsylvania, where laborers, investors, and innovators are at the heart of creating jobs and keeping the country safe.

WASHINGTON—Thousands of people gathered in front of the Lincoln Memorial on July 23 to commemorate the lives lost under communist persecution and call for an end to abuses still happening to fellow Falun Gong practitioners.

With the azure sky as the backdrop, they joined human rights advocates and a congressman for a rally, holding up banners at a site that has witnessed monumental changes in U.S. history.

Many of them have either experienced persecution in China for practicing Falun Gong or know someone who has. Some have lost families and friends to the ongoing campaign that has reached U.S. shores.

On this day, they commemorated the 27th anniversary of the broadening suppression by the Chinese regime and called for change.

Karoline Leavitt Blasts NJ Gov on Illegal Voter Rolls, Calls for Passage of the SAVE America Act

The SAVE America Act took up a significant portion of Thursday morning's White House press briefing. As RedState reported, President Trump held a rally in Georgia on Wednesday and talked about how the Senate's obstruction of this Act was becoming an issue. As the president stated with frustration, "The Senate is the place where you send things when you want them to die."

One reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt whether President Donald Trump was losing patience with Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and his clear resistance to bringing the SAVE America Act to the floor. Leavitt referenced Trump's Tuesday night remarks.

Leavitt said:

"The president spoke about this directly, yesterday. His patience is running out. He wants to see as much of the SAVE America Act passed as possible by the August recess. He knows that this is what the American people want to see passed. He was just traveling on the road yesterday. Spoke about this, and there was very loud applause from the people in the audience, the everyday Americans, because Voter ID is common sense. They want proof of citizenship in our elections, and the president feels very strongly about that. And I would just add, the people elected overwhelmingly Republicans to lead. Not just this White House, but also the House and the Senate. The House did its job, the Senate needs to do its job too."
