  By Sadegh Pashm-Foroush The day after the announcement of the results of Iran’s sham presidential election, Iranian regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei summoned the remaining members of the government of former regime president Ebrahim Raisi, who died in a helicopter crash on May 19. In his remarks to them—indirectly addressing new regime president Massoud Pezeshkian—he warned him and reminded him of the “model” of the president in the regime. The supreme leader repeatedly mentioned Raisi and said, “He is truly a model; we must all learn from him.” He then reiterated the concept of “heartfelt belief and practical commitment” to the regime, which Pezeshkian, like all the election candidates, had committed to. Khamenei stated, “Dear Raisi demonstrated as a model that one can possess these mental, heartfelt, and practical qualities as the president of a country and follow them in practice.” Of course, before the sham election, Pezeshkian repeatedly stated that he would continue Raisi...

Iran: IRGC Commander Yousef Nouri Appointed Education Minister

NCRI logoSo Far, 13 Members of Ebrahim Raisi’s Cabinet and Nine Governors Are IRGC Commanders

This morning, the clerical regime’s parliament approved Revolutionary Guard (IRGC)’s commander, Yousef Nouri, as Ebrahim Raisi’s Education Minister. As an IRGC member since the 1980s, Nouri has played an active role in sending children and students to clear minefields (during the Iran-Iraq war), and this seems to be his only link to Education. He has also been one of the directors of the IRGC’s two largest economic conglomerates, known as the “Khatam-al Anbiya Construction Headquarters” and the “Martyrs and Veterans Affairs.”

In today’s public session, a regime’s parliament deputy from Neyshabur revealed that Nouri’s appointment is a foregone conclusion. “The parliament has decided to vote for you,” she told Nouri during her speech.

In his speech at the parliament, Nouri said, today: “We should turn the education system into Qassem Soleimani’s training school, to train students loyal to the Supreme Leader. He added that the High Council of Education “acted completely passively against the influence of the ‘UNESCO 2030 Document.’ Those few officials sponsoring the 2030 Educational Guidelines must know that they do not have a place in the education [system] In Iran.”

With the appointment of an IRGC commander as the Education Minister, the number of IRGC and members of the Quds Force in Raisi’s cabinet will reach 13, including nine ministers (Ministers of Interior, Foreign Affairs, Roads and Urban Development, Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts, Energy, Sports, Science, Research and Technology, Health, and Education) and three of his deputies (IRGC Commanders, Mohsen Rezaee, Mohammad Hosseini, Mohammad Eslami), and his Deputy Chief Executive and Head of the Presidential Institution, Ali Ghoraishi.

In addition, on November 21, 2021, in the midst of the protests in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Brig. Gen. Gholam-Ali Heydari was appointed governor of that Province. At the same time, Hassan Bahramnia, a Heydari’s colleague, was appointed as the Governor of Ilam. Raisi has appointed eight other IRGC commanders as governors, including the governors of West Azerbaijan, Khorasan Razavi, Bushehr, Hormozgan, Lorestan, Ilam, Qom, and Khuzestan. He is moving to completely militarize the Interior Ministry.

In a move seen as intensifying repression, exactly two months and 16 days after taking office Ebrahim Raisi, officially handed over Tehran’s “social control” to the IRGC. According to the state-run daily, Eqtesad News, dated October 20, 2021, Amin Tavakolizadeh, Tehran Municipality’s Deputy on Social Affairs, announced that the IRGC’s Khatam-al Anbiya Construction Headquarters, with the help of mosques and Friday prayer leaders, will be pursuing the issue of “social control” in the capital.

Iran’s Regime Naval Terrorism Warrants More Sanctions

  The   latest revelations   by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) about the Iranian regime’s dangerous attempts to disrupt international maritime activity should serve as a wake-up call for Western governments. Tehran has significantly expanded its maritime terrorism using foreign mercenaries from the Middle East and Africa, especially in Yemen. This shouldn’t come as a complete surprise. The economy is tanking, and the regime is facing a multitude of irremediable social, political, and economic crises at home and is unable to stem the tide of expanding and continuing protests virtually by every sector of the Iranian society. Since December 2017, there have been eight major nationwide uprisings, the common theme of which has been the popular demand to overthrow the regime. Furthermore, the elimination of the Quds Force commander  Qassem Soleimani  in January 2020 damaged the regime’s influence in regional hotspots like Syria and Iraq. Regrettably...

Iran: “Guards Beat MEK Supporters 3 Times a Day Before Giving Food,” Ex-political Prisoner Testifies at Hamid Noury’s Trial

  Written by  Sedighe Shahrokhi Every day, when the guards opened the solitary cells, they started beating the MEK’s prisoners,” Rahman Darkeshideh testified on Thursday, January 27, during  the trial of Hamid Noury , deputy prosecutor in the notorious Gohardasht Prison (west of Tehran), where thousands of political prisoners were massacred in 1988. Noury, an Iranian prison official, was apprehended in 2019 in Sweden. His trial began in 2020, and dozens of survivors of the 1988 genocide shared harrowing accounts of those dreadful days, mainly in Gohardahst prison, where Noury worked. Based on  a fatwa by the regime’s  founder Ruhollah Khomeini, the so-called “Death Commissions” sent thousands of prisoners to gallows after the victims refused to disavow their allegiance to Iran’s leading opposition group, Mujahedin-e Khalq (PMOI/MEK). The Iranian regime’s president, Ebrahim Raisi, was a member of Tehran’s “Death Commission.” Darkeshideh, Noury’s neighbor and a Ma...
