Iran’s Mullahs Quake at the Sight of Strong Independent Women
Clare M. Lopez
May 2024
Our focus this month, appropriately enough as it turns out, is the Islamic Republic of Iran. As the following news items will attest, the jihadist regime of the mullahs is above all a misogynist regime. Fear of individually free, strong, independent women runs like a collective shiver through the clerical, judicial, Pasdaran, and police ranks of Iran. This is why the mass regime hysteria over Iranian women and girls who might show a bit of their hair – their hair! – sends them into a frenzy of assault, rape, and torture. This Iranian regime, even having lost its President and Foreign Minister in a helicopter accident this month, is incapable of normal, sane behavior towards its own people, most especially its women – and there is no chance for any change towards the better until this regime is replaced with a government of, by, and for the Iranian people.

- This month’s issue is dedicated to the women of Iran who suffer brutal abuse from their own government.
