Iran emerges as a hub for international organ-trafficking

Organ traffickers exploit vulnerable people in Iran with promises of big bucks for their organs.

The life-saving promise of organ transplants is marred by a disturbing reality: international organ trafficking rings. This lucrative criminal enterprise preys on the desperate and fuels a black market catering to wealthy recipients, often oligarchs, seeking a quick fix.

Iran, under a criminal regime, has emerged as a suspected hub in this illicit trade. Accusations point to a system where Iranian citizens, burdened by economic hardship, are coerced into selling their organs to foreign recipients. While the extent of the practice remains unclear, reports suggest a disturbing trend.

Here's why this alleged Iran regime-oligarch connection is particularly concerning:

Oligarchs and Unethical Practices

With their immense wealth, Western, Arab, and other oligarchs are willing to pay exorbitant sums to bypass waitlists and legal channels for organ transplants.

Desperation in Iran under the Mullahs

The Iranian economy is in shamble due to the tyrannical regime, creating a breeding ground for exploitation. Individuals facing financial ruin become easy targets for traffickers, promising a way out of poverty and fueling a cycle of abuse.

This raises a troubling question: are helpless people in Iran essentially being turned into human spare parts for the wealthy elite?

Preying on the Vulnerable

Iran, under the rule of mullahs, is just one piece of this global puzzle. International trafficking rings exploit vulnerable people from many countries. Agents operating within these countries act as the initial point of contact, befriending or manipulating those struggling financially. They dangle the promise of immense sums of money in exchange for an organ, often a vital organ like a kidney. The desperation of poverty clouds judgment, making the offer seem like a lifeline.

I am just guessing that they use prisoners too.

There may’ve been some organs available from that helo crash the other day.

Seriously, if I get an organ from a Muslim, will I have the urge to kneel towards Mecca and pray five times a day?

This is really in the vein of the Hun bayoneting Belgian babies.

Pro tip. No more lies. The US is not going to war with Iran. Not, not, not going to happen. We’ve been harmed irrevocably by fighting wars on behalf of alien people, and we’re not going to do it for a fourth time.
