Veteran War Commander Takes Over Iranian Regime Security Council

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...

Attack on Ukraine and the War of Occupation Is Condemned

 


Written by Secretariat of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)


The support of Ali Khamenei’s Friday prayer leaders, Ebrahim Raisi (the henchman of the 1988 massacre and current president of the regime), and his Foreign Minister for the attack and the occupation on Ukraine, which has been left alone, lays bare the expansionist nature of this unjust war for the Iranian people.

Seventy-seven years after World War II, a new era has begun and the clerical regime ruling Iran is seeking to take advantage of it. The helpless people of Ukraine, especially the civilians, deserve effective and comprehensive support. Sanctions alone are not enough.

Raisi has claimed, “NATO’s expansion to the east is provocative … and a serious threat to the stability and security of independent states in different regions.” In return for this position, at the behest of supreme leader Khamenei, the regime’s president, is shrewdly expecting Russia’s support in the Vienna nuclear talks, and stresses, “Providing verifiable guarantees, putting an end to political claims and lifting of sanctions are essential to reaching a lasting agreement.”
