18,000 dollars per person - and the meter is running!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Markwayne Mullin names the number without hesitation. 18,000 dollars is the average cost of a deportation. Proceedings, lawyers, detention space, transport. The state covers every item on the bill - and charges it to itself, again and again, without anyone asking when it ends. The system, Mullin says, drives the price up itself. Asylum applications, court proceedings, appeals - every step costs, every step drags on. He does not say this as criticism. He says it as an explanation. And then he says that this is not a reason to stop. The course remains. The costs too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On television, the number is made larger. Not just deportation costs - but a full picture that includes jobs, schools, hospitals, social services. Everything ends up in the same calculation. Mullin nods. He does not object. He confirms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real numbers are larger than any television program shows. More than 675,000 deportations in the first year. In addition, more than two million people who left the country before it came to that - out of fear, out of exhaustion, because the message had been received. What is mechanical about it is not the speed. It is the consistency. No stalling, no pause, no visible doubt. But the money tells a different story. Millions flowed into agreements with third countries - El Salvador, Rwanda, others - to send people there, even though many ultimately returned to their countries of origin. Funds to states that were only briefly part of the picture. Costs that do not translate into results. An apparatus that justifies itself as long as it runs - regardless of what it actually achieves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who are deported are not meant to come back. Not legally, not through a back door, not at some later point. That is the message behind the voluntary departure programs that run in parallel and are not meant to fool anyone. They stand there like an exit over which a different sign has long been hanging. What Mullin describes is not a program with a beginning and a planned end. It is a mechanism that consumes money, moves people and sends political messages - and that continues precisely because stopping would be more costly than continuing. Not financially. Politically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

18,000 dollars per person. The meter is running. The nightmare continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hormuz becomes the line between war and peace - Beijing recognizes Iran\u2019s role as a littoral state!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

China\u2019s Foreign Minister Wang Yi intervenes directly at a decisive moment. In a phone call with Abbas Araghchi, he makes clear what is now at stake: the Strait of Hormuz must be reopened. Not as a wish, but as a demand that goes far beyond individual states. Beijing recognizes Iran\u2019s role as a littoral state and at the same time emphasizes that security and freedom of passage must be ensured. Both stand side by side, both are being demanded. This makes clear how narrow the room for maneuver has become. Wang Yi describes the situation as a point at which it will be decided whether it moves further toward war or whether a way out is still possible. At the same time, he says that a window of opportunity has opened that must be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The response from Tehran is cautious, but clear. Iran is prepared to continue searching for a solution based on negotiations and not escalation. The Strait of Hormuz thus remains the center of this development. A place where it becomes clear whether words still have an effect or whether decisions are made that can no longer be reversed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Narges Mohammadi in prison - heart attack, one hour without help<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Narges Mohammadi is in prison in Zanjan in a condition her family describes as critical. Visits in recent weeks paint a clear picture: weakened, pale, visibly emaciated. On March 24, she suffered a heart attack. What happened afterward is the real scandal. For more than an hour she lay unconscious without anyone intervening. No resuscitation, no immediate medical assistance. Only later was she examined by a cardiologist. According to her brother Hamidreza Mohammadi, the cause could also lie in medication administered to her in prison. At the same time, she is being held in a cell with convicted murderers, despite repeated threats against her. This is not an isolated case, but a clear decision about detention conditions. A woman who has been internationally recognized for her work is isolated, weakened and without protection. The question is not how she is doing. The question is why she is being kept in this condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
