CNN
The beheading of a 17-year-old girl, allegedly by her husband, in western Iran's Khuzestan province last week has once again raised concern over the country's laws around murder and gender-based violence.
Iran's official Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) referred to the alleged murder as an "honor killing."
A video began circulating showing the husband, Sajjad Heydari, walking in the provincial capital of Ahvaz while smiling and carrying his wife's severed head, IRNA reported. Local authorities have confirmed that widely shared images that purport to be Heydari are from the same incident, a source with knowledge of the statements told CNN.
It is almost impossible to remember life in Israel before Hamas launched its brutal October 7 attacks a year ago, killing more than 1,200 Israelis and kidnapping more than 250 others, and there is little point, because that life is gone for good. And not just because more than 100 hostages are still captive.
