After the confrontation and impeachment of a senior security official, Mohsen Rafiqdoust's office published a statement about his controversial interview/ He has undergone brain surgery with extensive complications in the past years

 The office of General Mohsen Rafiqdoust provided explanations about the interview of the former Minister of the Revolutionary Guards and the former head of the Mostazafan Foundation with Iran Watch.

The text of the explanations of the office of the former head of the Mostazafan Foundation is as follows:

On March 9, 2025, Sardar Mohsen published a video interview with the Iran Watch website that lasted more than two hours. In this video interview for more than two hours, discussions were discussed about the memories of Mr. Rafiqdoust's time in office, including his responsibility during the glorious victory of the Islamic Revolution in the vicinity of the late Imam and during the Holy Defense. Another part of this interview was about his successful tenure in the Mostazafan Foundation by the decree of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution.

In a short part of the interview (the last minutes), the host asks a question about Anis Naqash's memoir, in which Mr. Rafiqdoust, in response to another person's memoir, raises some issues that are exploited and exploited by hostile media abroad and biased domestic media with specific political goals.

It is important to mention a few points about the issues raised in the recent video interview:

1- The question of the last minutes of the interview is about the published memoir of Anis Naqash which was not fully and specifically addressed by the presenter, so Mr. Rafiqdoust's answer to this question in the last minutes of the interview is not complete and cannot be legally relied upon.

2. Mr. Rafiqdoust has undergone brain surgery in the past years with extensive complications and may remember some memories and names incorrectly, in any case, the statements made cannot be legally and historically relied upon.

3. Some biased media inside the country and anti-revolutionary media abroad have distorted his words with their own goals and by omitting the video interview before and after the video interview, they have made claims about him and the holy system of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the assassination of some people, which are not true and are denied.

4. It should be remembered that due to Mr. Rafiqdoust's more than 50 years of service to the regime and the Imams of the Revolution, these media outlets have used fictitious issues as a pretext for destroying him and the regime. Undoubtedly, in the manipulation of the aforementioned dialogue, the traces of hypocritical elements living abroad can be seen in the destruction of the Islamic Republic and the diplomacy of the system. The content published in the counter-revolutionary media is a truncated part of his full interview and is not approved by his office.

5. It is important to note that due to his previous illness and the long time of the interview, the contents presented in the final section lack originality and legal, historical, and international references, and the publishing media should have paid attention to these issues before publication. It was expected that the publishing media would publish the content according to the conditions of the country and international requirements.

6. The judgment of some domestic media about the issues raised is not correct due to the health condition of General Rafiqdoust after the surgery, the long time of the interview, and the breadth of the topics raised, only the official narrative about the events raised can be confirmed.

7. Before the interview, there are discussions about the memories of others from some assassinations abroad, and in the last question of the interview, these topics and the names of other people and their memories are referred to, and in fact, they are quotes from other people, and on the other hand, some murders, such as the murder of Fereydoun Farrokhzad, have nothing to do with Mr. Rafiq Dost's time in office.

8. Considering all aspects of the narrative of Mr. Mohsen Rafiqdoost and the interests of the holy regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the media should refrain from prejudging and judging the issues raised by him and should receive the correct narrative from official sources from a legal point of view.
