  Why Is Mojtaba Khamenei Stepping Out of the Shadows? Anatomy of a Rushed Succession in the Shadow of War and Uprising By: Reza Hoseani Abstract During the first week of Aban 1404 (October 21-28, 2025), a series of official and semi-official reports emerged concerning meetings and messages involving Mojtaba Khamenei — including meetings with Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, a message to academic and athletic elites, and responses to letters from university students. This unprecedented flurry comes as the Islamic Republic faces a triple crisis: the imminent threat of external war, a deep domestic legitimacy crisis, and an unprecedented rift at the very top of the regime. By examining the sequence of these developments, this article argues that Mojtaba’s increased visibility is not a sign of consolidated power. Rather, it is a defensive maneuver driven by fear of losing control and an attempt to avoid being erased from the post-Khamenei equation. Introduction...

Why did the Iranian regime simultaneously launch a missile attack on the headquarters of Kurdish parties and executed three political prisoners?

Reza Hosseini
The Iranian regime hanged three Kurdish political prisoners, Ramin Hossein-Panahi, 24, Zanyar Moradi, 30, and Loghman Moradi, 32, in Gohardasht Prison, Karaj.  Faced with overwhelming popular outrage and detestation, the regime carried out the executions despite repeated international calls, to terrorize the public and prevent further anti-regime protests.  The three prisoners had been on dry hunger strike for several days. Zanyar and Loghman were in jail for more than nine years, and Ramin had been imprisoned over the past 14 months. They were under severe duress during their incarceration.

On the other hand, the headquarters of the Kurdistan Democratic Party in Iran and the Kommala Party in the depths of Iraqi Kurdistan, a terrible attack by the regime of the mullahs of the criminal,
which killed a number of members of the Peshmerga of both parties and more wounded.

Run by Mohsen Rezaii, former IRGC Commander and Secretary of the State Exigency Council, Tabnak website wrote a few hours after this criminal attack, “The forces of the Revolutionary Guard Corps… have targeted since, Saturday (September 8), the military positions... of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran and the Democratic Party near the city of Kouyeh, 200 kms from the Iranian border.”
Tabnak added, “The IRGC launched six surface-to-surface missiles at the headquarters of the Kurdistan Democratic Party which left dozens dead and wounded.”

A question that flies itself is why is the mullahs doing such a heinous act in this case?
The truth is that the Iranian regime is stuck in economic and political crises at the regional and international levels in Europe, facing a lawsuit against failed terrorist acts against the PMOI at the highest diplomatic level, which has dominated its political ties, especially with regard to the continuation of the nuclear deal and economic contracts.
-Faces a massive and paralyzed boycott of the United States,
-In Iraq, facing a popular uprising against its interference and burning the consular people of Iran in Basra
- In Syria, has not yet succeeded in provoking sedition and massacres against the Idlibs.
- More importantly, inside Iran there is an increasing number of organized demonstrations and uprisings.
Therefore, despite all the political implications of bombing the neighboring lands of the country in order to give the morale of its forces, on the one hand, and create an atmosphere of terrorism and prevent protests and uprisings from the Iranian people on the other hand, this system is bound to take such action.
The international community has criticized this work carried out by the Iranian regime and announced the Iranian resistance in a statement:

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, described the Iranian regime’s execution of three Kurdish activists and the missile attacks on the headquarters of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran and the Kurdistan Democratic Party as crimes against humanity, and called on the United Nations Security Council to address these atrocities.

When War Becomes an Excuse: How Economic Pressure Is Being Shifted Onto Ordinary People

  By Reza Hoseani Iran’s economic crisis is no longer just a headline — it has become part of everyday life. Skyrocketing prices, the continuous collapse of the national currency, and shrinking household purchasing power are now affecting nearly every segment of society. But an important question remains: Are these hardships truly the direct result of war and external pressure, or are they rooted in domestic economic policies and political decisions? While state media repeatedly blame regional tensions and foreign conflicts for inflation and market instability, many economists argue that the current crisis is driven far more by internal policymaking than by war itself.   War as a Cover for Internal Economic Failure For years, whenever Iran’s economy entered a deeper phase of crisis, official narratives pointed to external enemies and international tensions. However, economic experts say the immediate impact of war rarely causes inflation on this scale in such a sho...

However, Iranian women play critical roles in challenging the regime and pushing the situation towards overthrowing the mullahs.” Madam ...
