When the Supreme Leader Speaks, Who Still Listens?

  By: Struan Stevenson Mojtaba Khamenei inherited the most powerful office in the Islamic Republic. Yet six months into his tenure, a question once considered unthinkable is surfacing in Tehran. When the Supreme Leader speaks, who still listens? For almost five decades, the answer was obvious.

Iranian Regime’s Governmental Websites Disrupted, Calling for Regime Change Displayed

-

 Written by Hamideh Taati

This morning, the official website of the Iranian regime’s Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance and a number of its affiliated websites were disrupted.



Footage posted on Persian language social media showed that the front page of farhang.gov.ir has been made unavailable and images of Massoud Rajavi, Iranian Resistance Leader, and Maryam Rajavi, NCRI’s President-elect are displayed, along with the regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s picture marked invalidated. The Persian text below the images reads: “The servers of the mullahs’ Ministry of Censorship and Suppression have been seized. Down with Khamenei, Viva Rajavi”.

Although the post was removed and the original data was restored after several minutes, at least 62 affiliated websites are out of reach and 77 servers and 280 computers have been taken down. The news was already widely shared on Persian language media and is expected to make headlines.

The official website of the MEK posted the following information:

  • As of 11 a.m. Tehran time, 62 websites of the Ministry of Culture and Guidance of the Iranian regime have been disrupted and defaced.
  • As of 11 a.m., 77 servers and more than 280 computers of the Ministry of Culture and Guidance had been taken down.
  • The servers of the Ministry of Censorship and Repression were seized and the slogans of “Down with Khamenei and viva Rajavi” were displayed on all pages.
  • Websites containing Instructors’ teaching card qualifications, websites of the Friday Prayer sermons, websites affiliated with the regime’s veteran affairs, culture management infrastructure management system, and the Kurdistan Organizing website were among the 62 websites that have been out of reach.

Footage obtained by the NCRI shows how a user is sending mass emails to various Iranian regime’s governmental officials and employees containing slogans of “Death to Khamenei, Hail to Rajavi”.

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...

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...
