Veteran War Commander Takes Over Iranian Regime Security Council

Image
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...

Iran’s 1401 Year: A Hopeful Beginning, a Turbulent Journey, and a Promising Future

Image
  Written by Hossein Daei Alilslam The Persian Year 1401 has just ended. A year full of ups and downs, sorrow and happiness, fear and bravery for the Iranian people in their quest to establish a secular, non-nuclear, and democratic republic. As the year began, the regime’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei lauded the installation of Ebrahim Raisi as the new president, extolling it as a “sweet development.” Yet, as the year progressed, even the state-controlled press reported on the  dwindling support  for Raisi amongst Khamenei’s faction due to the worsening economic and social crises. The country’s inflation now hovers above 50%, the highest in four years. The value of the national currency, the rial, rapidly plunges. When the year began, the value of a dollar was 250,000 rials, but presently, it has exceeded 450,000 rials. An egg now costs 30,000 rials, which represents a 100% rise compared to last year. Likewise, the cost of meat has skyrocketed to 5 million rials per kilo. ...

Iranian Women’s Century-old Struggle and Its Victory Helps Women’s Rights Globally

Image
  Written by Sedighe Shahrokhi March 8 marks International Women’s Day, an occasion to consider the situation of half of the world’s population and the progress of the equality movement. While in many countries, women have made considerable progress in achieving acquiring equal rights and enjoying fundamental rights, Iranian women have been fighting for over a century to attain equality.   Iranian women have paid an immense price for equality and freedom, earning them the leading role in Iranian society, particularly in the revolution in the making to topple the ruling misogynous regime.   Thus, their eventual victory will be a major breakthrough for the women’s rights movement and activists globally. This point was highlighted during an international conference on March 4 in Belgium, where renowned female politicians and women of high accomplishments attended to share their thoughts and experiences.  Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer , former German Minister of D...

Shah, the foundation of foreign domination and fascism in Iran!

Image
  Shah represented two phenomena simultaneously in Iran: ·         Fascist repression internally ·         Foreign powers interests and domination In 1878, Naser al-Din Shah Qajar, in order to maintain his monarchy, borrowed a ruthless brigade called the Cossack Brigade from the Russian army, and paid all their expenses from the government’s treasury, i.e. the pockets of the Iranian people. Among the famous leaders of this force, we can mention the notorious Russian colonel Liakhov, who bombarded the first Iranian constitutional assembly, and later on Reza Khan the Ghazagh (Cossack) with help from dominant colonial powers staged a coup d’état and Reza Khan was installed as king. A king who, when his expiration date was over, his masters kicked him out of Iran in disgrace and appointed his son in his place. And in turn, when the expiration date of “son” was over, General Robert E.Huyser came and arranged...
