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.

Iran, an “Attractive Model” or a Fragile Regime

-

 By MEHDI HOSSEINI

In his latest meeting with the Iranian regime’s most senior officials, the regime’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei claimed that the “power system of the Islamic Republic and its achievements in various fields have become an attractive role model for nations.”

The question is, which other countries and nations around the world are now following Khamenei’s claimed, “attractive model?”



Regarding the damages to the regime with this policy, Abbas Abdi, one of the regime’s experts said, “Instability in foreign relations plays an important role in the stalemate of economic growth and has negative psychological effects on people. Iran is still embroiled in a variety of conflicts. The sanctions and the JCPOA, the Middle East and the issues of Syria and Lebanon, Yemen’s war, Iraq and its Kurdistan, Afghanistan, and the refugee crisis, possibly Pakistan’s problems, and to some extent, indirect involvement in the Ukraine conflict are among them.”

He added, “In addition, problems may arise between Baku and Armenia at any moment and affect Iran. Relations with the southern countries of the Persian Gulf, except for Oman and Qatar, are not stable, and we have our problems with Turkey. Oil exports and economic exchanges can also be problematic at sea and for the (oil) tankers. In short, the combination of these conditions increases the country’s risk index.”

‘Instability in foreign policy’ and its effect on “increasing the country’s risk index” is one of the characteristics of a government that suffers from a weakness in domestic politics and administration. The Iranian government is heavily involved in incurable crises and is relentlessly trying to dispatch these crises to other regions.

Discussing this ‘attractive model’, Khamenei was forced to confess the widespread desperation among the regime’s officials. He said, “Making the people lose hope and making them feel we have come to a dead-end is an act of oppression against the people and the Revolution.”

This is the paradox of his speeches as he uses terms that are expressed only by a government that is more fragile than ever. For this reason, the regime cannot adopt a consistent and long-term policy.

Khamenei said, “It is due to the passivity that man feels deadlocked and says that nothing can be done anymore; This is a dangerous poison. For a manager of a complex, it is toxic to feel stuck. And the enemies try extremely hard to instill this feeling in all of us in various forms. By meeting, talking, chanting, doing interviews, via the news, by some operational activities… they try to create despair, passivity, impasse, and the like among their opponents. This is damaging.”

Hopelessness, passivity, and impasse have become the common terms with the “attractive model” for the regime’s officials. Repeating these terms makes it crystal clear that the purpose of speaking about other subjects is to marginalize the regime’s main issue. Therefore, Khamenei is then forced to motivate the regime’s officials constantly and remind them that they are still not overthrown.

The truth of the matter is that the growing activities of the Iranian Resistance led by the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), from its Resistance Units to its enlightening efforts on the internet, have created a great danger for the regime.

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...
