'West has failed to counter Tehran's hostage diplomacy', says former Iranian prisoner
Monday, 17 February 2025 A woman who campaigns for people wrongly detained in Iran says the recent arrest of a British couple shows the West has failed to counter Tehran's hostage diplomacy.
Israel’s June 23 airstrike on Tehran’s infamous Evin Prison has left 71 people dead, according to Iranian judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangir. Among the dead were detainees, military conscripts, visiting family members, prison staff, and nearby residents. The devastating attack marks a significant escalation in Israel’s targeting strategy—shifting from military and nuclear sites to political symbols of the Iranian regime.
The strike comes in the aftermath of a brutal air war between Iran and Israel, shaking the foundations of regional stability. Evin Prison, long criticized by human rights groups for its treatment of political prisoners, is now the site of mass civilian casualties. What message is Israel sending? And what comes next?

IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi has warned that Iran could resume uranium enrichment within months, despite recent U.S. strikes on its nuclear sites. Grossi emphasized that Iran’s expertise and infrastructure remain largely intact. Satellite images of Fordow show signs of possible reconstruction, contradicting Trump’s claim that Iran’s program was “totally obliterated.” The IAEA says damage was significant but not crippling. With Tehran cutting off cooperation with the UN watchdog, concerns are rising over Iran’s next nuclear move.

Iran is reportedly pivoting away from reliance on Russian military hardware after suffering heavy battlefield losses in its 12-day war with Israel. According to Iranian defense sources, Tehran has initiated urgent negotiations with China to procure advanced J-10C fighter jets in a bid to rapidly replenish its depleted air force.
