Ahead of accepting the Friedrich Naumann Foundation’s Freedom Prize on behalf of the Iranian people, Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi told The Jerusalem Post that a growing number of European leaders recognize that the Islamic Republic must go.

For this Frontlines feature, I also spoke with Prof. Dr. Ludwig Theodor Heuss, the foundation's former chairman and current Board of Trustees member, about the decision to honor the Iranian people, Pahlavi's choice to accept the award, and its wider significance for Europe’s approach to Iran.

We are moving up in the world. Now they can say our name.

Iran’s state media covered Israel’s elections live.

Standing directives bar Iranian outlets from saying “Israel” — only variations of the “Zionist regime.” Yet IRIB and even IRGC media used “Israel” widely.

Not a policy shift. Just another Islamic Republic idiosyncrasy.

It is a sadistic kind of evil.

A few months ago, a heart attack stopped Alireza Sepahi's first execution. He was resuscitated and returned to prison. His own mother reportedly wished he would not wake, knowing what fate awaited him.

On Sunday he married his imprisoned fiancée by phone.

The Islamic Republic hanged Alireza Sepahi this morning.

Manoto’s 'This Is Our Story' lets Iranians tell the story of January's massacres themselves. Through thousands of videos filmed on the streets as the January uprising turned bloody, Iran's citizens have become the documentarians of their own revolution. It should be seen by all.
