    The Spin

    Mohammadi's latest arrest exposes the regime's fear of global attention on courageous dissidents. For years, she has fearlessly fought oppression and stood for women's rights despite repeated imprisonment and harsh treatment. The timing — just as María Corina Machado arrived in Norway — reveals exactly what authoritarian regimes fear most: the unstoppable power of truth when the world is watching.

    It's outrageous how the West insists on meddling in Iran's internal affairs. Mohammadi was convicted of legitimate criminal charges including colluding against national security and spreading anti-government propaganda. That she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023 means only that the Nobel Committee and Mohammadi servesserve the interest of the Western establishment.

    Metaculus Prediction

    There's a 50% chance that Iran will cease to be an Islamic Republic by September 2039, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
