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...

Iranians across Europe demand no visa for Raisi, voice support for Resistance

-

 By Matin Karim

Freedom-loving Iranians and supporters of the Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) held rallies in six different European countries, along with Ottawa and Toronto in Canada, condemning the mullahs’ regime ruling Iran, calling on the U.S. administration to deny a visa for Iranian regime President Ebrahim Raisi for next month’s annual United Nations General Assembly, and voiced support for the Iranian Resistance. These rallies were held on Saturday, August 20, in Oslo of Norway, Aarhus of Denmark, Geneva of Switzerland, Gothenburg of Sweden, Hamburg of Germany, and the Hague.



In Oslo, the demonstrators condemned Raisi for his direct role in the summer 1988 massacre of over 30,000 political prisoners, mostly PMOI/MEK members and supporters. The demonstrators are also calling on the U.S. government to deny Raisi a visa as he intends to participate in the upcoming United Nations General Assembly in New York next month, emphasizing that instead he should be arrested and prosecuted for human rights violations and crimes against humanity. These rallies also called on Washington and governments in Europe to end their highly flawed and failed appeasement policy vis-à-vis the mullahs’ regime in Tehran.

In Aarhus, Denmark, the demonstrators, including freedom of loving Iranians and PMOI/MEK supporters, called for the overthrow of the mullahs’ regime by the Iranian people. “Death to Khamenei to and Raisi; damned be Khomeini!” they chanted, in reference to regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his predecessor, Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the mullahs’ regime in Iran.

These demonstrators were holding placards with messages in Farsi supporting the recent protests in the city of Shahrekord of Chaharmahal & Bakhtiari province in southwest Iran where locals have been suffering from severe water shortages and even without any drinking water for two weeks.

In Geneva, another group of freedom-loving Iranians and PMOI/MEK supporters launched an exhibition commemorating the memory of over 30,000 political prisoners executed by the mullahs’ regime in Iran during the summer of 1988. The demonstrators also condemned the mullahs’ regime for their heinous atrocities throughout the past four decades, especially Raisi as he approved the execution of hundreds of Iranians when he was the chief of the regime’s so-called judiciary and now that he is the mullahs’ selected president.

The exhibition also featured many images of victims of the Iranian regime’s executions in prisons and deadly crackdown against peaceful protests, from the November 2019 uprising to this day.

In Gothenburg, Sweden, those attending the gathering hailed Iranian Resistance Leader Massoud Rajavi, and Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian opposition coalition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). The PMOI/MEK is the cornerstone member of the NCRI coalition.

The demonstrators in Gothenburg also chanted slogans condemning both the regimes of the Shah and the mullahs, supporting a new revolution in Iran to establish freedom, democracy, and human rights in a non-nuclear Iran. Iranians in Gothenburg also voiced strong criticism of the West’s appeasement policy, especially regarding the Iranian regime’s nuclear dossier and the ongoing talks for a new nuclear deal, while vowing to continue supporting the Iranian Resistance in the ongoing struggle for a free Iran.

In Hamburg, supporters of the PMOI/MEK and the NCRI coalition called for an international fact-finding mission to investigate Iran’s 1988 massacre and bring the perpetrators of the mullahs’ regime before justice for their crimes. These Iranians in Hamburg also reemphasized their support for the Iranian opposition PMOI/MEK.

In the Hague, freedom-loving Iranians and sympathizers of the PMOI/MEK gathered in support of the Iranian people’s protests and the Iranian Resistance and condemning the mullahs’ regime.

Similar rallies were also held in the cities of Ottawa and Toronto in Canada on Saturday with PMOI/MEK supporters highlighting the regime’s human rights violations, voicing support for the Iranian Resistance, and criticizing the West’s appeasement policies vis-a-vis the mullahs’ regime ruling Iran.

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...
