Iran News in Brief - August 10, 2026 - NCRI

An “Iran News in Brief” update dated August 10, 2026 compiles several developments. One section reports that former UK Defence Secretary Sir Liam Fox urged Prime Minister Andy Burnham to stop what he called the “appeasement” of Iran and back “regime change from within,” citing alleged escalation of Tehran’s actions, including the killing of thousands of protesters during a January nationwide uprising. It also criticizes an international nuclear deal led under the Obama administration, alleging it provided large sums in unfrozen assets and sanctions relief without addressing human rights or support for terrorism. Another item says PMOI/MEK Resistance Units marked the 38th anniversary of the 1988 massacre with 60 operations across Iranian cities. The update also reports the execution of Marzieh Nayyeri, 24, in Qazvin Central Prison after a conviction for “premeditated murder.”
