By Hoshang Amiri Mojtaba Khamenei, the supreme leader of the Iranian regime, appointed Mohsen Rezaei as his representative to the Supreme National Security Council on August 9, 2026. Hours later, Iranian regime president Masoud Pezeshkian appointed him secretary of the council. Seventy-one-year-old Mohsen Rezaei was one of the founders of the IRGC Intelligence Unit before becoming commander of the Iran-Iraq War. In 1981, at the age of 27, he became commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a position he held for 16 years—the longest tenure as commander of the force. During his tenure, the IRGC’s ground, naval, and air forces were established, the Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters was founded, and the IRGC evolved from a paramilitary force into military, security, and economic power. Rezaei’s name, however, is most closely associated with the Iran-Iraq War, from major operations to decisions whose human cost is still debated. Karbala-4: Defeat Under the Name of Deception Th...

Iran: Renewing The Invitation To Khamenei, Raisi, And Other Leaders Of The Regime To Participate In An International Tribunal For Genocide And Crimes Against Humanity

-

 




Simultaneous with the demonstration of Iranians in Sweden and the call by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), to put the regime’s leaders, especially Ali Khamenei and Ebrahim Raisi and the Judiciary Chief Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje’i, on trial for genocide and crimes against humanity, the clerical regime and its spokesmen once again called for the prosecution of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK/PMOI) for the death of “more than 17,000” of their mercenaries.

As it has repeatedly stated, the Iranian Resistance welcomes and again invites the regime leaders to an international tribunal in this regard. That invitation, originally made in 2007 when the regime filed a complaint about the firing of mortars at Khamenei’s headquarters and the cases of IRGC Maj, Gen. Ali Sayad Shirazi, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian regime’s Armed Forces, infamously known as the butcher of Kurdistan, and Assadollah Lajevardi, the butcher of Evin Prison.

The Iranian Resistance also stressed in March 2021, “We very much welcome attending an international tribunal with the participation of Khamenei, Rouhani, Javad Zarif and Ebrahim Raisi at The Hague or in Geneva. The regime can also bring all its plaintiffs. Of course, the death sentence for the MEK (members and supporters) who were steadfast in their support for the organization has already been issued by Khomeini. So if the regime has nothing to hide, it must immediately agree to the participation of Khamenei, Rouhani, and its Judiciary chief in the International Criminal Court at The Hague or in an international tribunal in Geneva or in any other international tribunal under UN auspices.”

Earlier, Mr. Massoud Rajavi, leader of the Iranian Resistance, had also stated in February 2009, “Whenever an impartial international tribunal operates based on recognized legal and judicial principles and standards, we say to the clerical regime: Please let’s go to court…We are also ready to join such a court to examine any claims against us. I am also personally ready, and I call on the clerical regime’s Supreme Leader that if he dares to appear in an international court, to accept and attend it with my presence immediately.”

Iran: The Poor Tumble While the Rich Rise

 Written by Mansoureh Galestan On Friday, January 21, Dr. Javad Safari, a retired university lecturer, committed suicide due to financial difficulties and after not receiving his pension for months.  His tragic death once again highlights how the Iranian regime’s plunder and corruption have devastated people’s lives. Meanwhile, news broke out that in November, Hojat Abdolmaleki, the regime’s Minister of Cooperatives, Labor, and Social Welfare, has “donated” 60 billion rials (roughly $1.5M USD) to a TV game show.  Abdolmaleki’s ministry controls Iran’s Social Security Organization, National Pension Organization, Social Security Investment Company (Shasta). The fate of Dr. Javad Safari, his family, and other Iranian pensioners is in the hands of the likes of Abdolmaleki. In a letter to Abdolmaleki, Ali Foroughi, the director of state-run Channel 3 TV, asked for a 480 billion rials investment for making 780 episodes of the “Square” contest. In less than 24 hours, Abdolmaleki...

Arrest of ‘Mossad Agents’ to Justify Tehran’s Anti-Semite, Anti-Western Strategies

  By Dr. Majid Rafizadeh. On Wednesday, the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS)  announced  that it had arrested three individuals on charges of spying for the Israeli intelligence service, Mossad. The identity of the persons in question or the evidence that led to allegations against them were not revealed. Vulnerable political parties or authoritarian regimes that lack an agenda for prosperity and development have always invoked foreign boogeymen, in that they are useful to blame for one’s failures. For example, In 1980, the mullahs  provoked their  western neighbor into war and used the “the divine blessing”— as former Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini put it — to wipe out domestic opposition. The Mujahedin-e-Khalq (PMOI), the People’s Fedayeen Organization, or any progressive movement that would have dared to speak out for democracy or women’s rights faced brutal crackdown, as a fifth columnist.   The Irania...
