Politics

This movement will not allow a person like Mr. Khatami to be considered for the next leadership.

For a peaceful transition from the second leadership to the third, Article 5 of the Constitution must be put to a referendum

In our country, a movement has taken over sensitive positions that possesses neither political literacy nor the knowledge to manage society.

Some flaws also stem from the structure of the government and the center of gravity of its policies.

If real criticism had been allowed, we would not have ended up here!

The final word must be spoken by the wise members of society.

Mr. Khomeini's pre-revolutionary perspective was vastly different from his post-revolutionary outlook.

The first one became a minister, the second became the President's assistant; shouldn't the third one become the Chairman of the Board of [Mobarakeh] Steel? 

The model for this government was Imam Ali, and its manifesto was the Nahj al-Balagha.

At the beginning of the Revolution, many leftists in their newspapers were saying "Bravo" to Khalkhali [for his executions]!

Ayatollah Khamenei did not possess the charismatic personality of the Imam.

Let it remain as a memento

Ayatollah Khamenei did not possess the charismatic personality of the Imam (Khomeini).

The board of trustees of this center includes people such as Sadegh Larijani, Ahmad Khatami, and Ali Taeb.

Mr. Jannati will still be in office even if he is 200 years old, because he has power.

It can be justified that the Director General of the Ministerial Office or the Director General of the Organizations' Directorate or the Director General of the Governor's Department; due to the minister's busy schedule, initially refers correspondence from non-equal or senior officials of the system with the authority he has from the minister and requests the result from the headquarters and ranks, and then, once the response and report are received, informs the records.

Three types of change are possible: reform, revolution, and transition.

Ayatollah Khamenei also created the Army Supreme Command, using the authority of the Commander-in-Chief, whose motto was that the Commander-in-Chief's orders take precedence over the law.

Now Babak Zanjani has mentioned the issue, regardless of its accuracy and details.
It is interesting to know that until now, the status of the activities of the Zawia Financial Group's codes, such as their tax evasion, has not been clarified.

Mr. [Mehdi] Nasiri is the one who was replaced by Hossein Shariatmadari to prevent his extremism!

The leaders of the Jewish community came. They complained about the bad language in some newspapers [about Jews] and said that they were against Zionism. They had written a letter about my recent sermon at Friday prayers about Christian Zionism, which I had replied to; they thanked me. Ali Larijani said, "There is no other way but for you to enter the scene and save the country from the crisis." I said, "Think of someone else."

The result of this change was disastrous!

Greetings

Mr. Sadeghi Moghadam has been the Deputy for Executive Affairs and Elections of the Guardian Council for many years and was a member of the Guardian Council's legal team for a while, but he was not introduced this time.

Of course, when dignitaries like Professor Mohsen Borhani tweeted and were happy that he left, I wrote sarcastically to others and him, "Won't he also be the Deputy for Executive Affairs and Elections of the Guardian Council?!!!

Now you will notice that he is in the same position as before, which has no administrative connection with the head of the judiciary and is related to the Guardian Council.

A correct understanding of Iran's complex politics will neither subject the author to harsh judgment from history nor mislead readers and followers.

The first news that Abdi Media published and Mr. Mehdi Mohammadi, the Director General of Communications of the Martyr Foundation, denied, and Abdi Media also published the same denial in order to comply with media ethics.

But now, can we say frankly why Mr. Ohadi was forced to change positions?

Mohammad Haji Mazdarani was introduced as the director of Evin Detention Center and Hedayatollah Farzadi was dismissed.
Mohammad Haji Mazdarani was previously the director of the Fashafoyeh Vocational Training and Occupational Therapy Camp.

Will you truly publicly disclose all the facts regarding the proceedings of Branch 36 of the Tehran Court of Appeals since the time of Seyed Ahmad Zargar—with his unlimited powers concerning this case and its defendants, Foroughi and Riazi, the appointed committee, and their backgrounds?

It is possible that when the "white smoke" emerges, it will be completely contrary to our expectations.

Perhaps if a personality like Mr. Khatami were to become a temporary leader [for a transition to democracy], the people might accept it.

The clergy currently do not even have the competence to preach in mosques!

The people weigh the country's best interests and make decisions rationally.

A hypocritical society cannot be predicted.

First and foremost, it must be stated that this writing is an intra-discourse critique within the transitionist camp.

One discussion was that, fundamentally, in the future—since these debates relate to ten or fifteen years ago...

With this current direction, I am not optimistic [about reaching the third leadership].

For these 46 years, we have been paying the price for a single mistake (the occupation of the U.S. Embassy).

Throughout history, the majority of Shiite jurists believed that something called Velayat-e Faqih (in the sense of the rule of the jurist) does not exist.

Majid Beiranvand and Ehsan Moayedi Kia, two journalists from Lorestan, following [their] criticism of the governor of this province...

Do all citizens and litigants have the possibility to request the implementation of Article 477 of the Criminal Procedure Code, which, especially in this period...

The United Arab Emirates [has signed] a strategic defense agreement worth $2.3 billion with Elbit Systems.

Sheikh Mostafa Pourmohammadi: The gathering of intelligence from Iran by the Zionist regime pertains to years past.

The former Deputy Minister of Interior of Iran, from within his prison cell, calls for a democratic and non-violent transition through the holding of elections for a Constituent Assembly.

I believe in fundamental reforms.

By the final verdict of the judges panel of Branch One of the Tehran Provincial Court of Appeal, Mohammad Javad Zarif was sentenced to a fine of twenty million Tomans on the charge of insult.

Will you precisely investigate the claims and pleas for justice made by this grieving father who has lost his child?

You do not recount (it); the accounts will not remain confidential.

Oversight (or supervision/monitoring) in the country is a joke.

I believe there is no such thing as an Islamic Government!

Among traditional scholars, Ayatollah Mesbah (Yazdi) had the worst reaction (or attitude/approach) toward the new human rights system.

The only commonality I see between these two people is that both of their turbans are white!

It should be like the power of the Presidential Public Relations during the time of Seyyed Ali Moghaddam and the special follow-ups of the Prime Minister by Jalil Besharati.

In this interpretation, a republic has been formed in which the people have no role whatsoever (are powerless).

[These agencies] have turned human beings into hypocrites who speak according to the government's wishes, but their belief is something else.

When ethics disappear, commitment also disappears; this is how corruption becomes widespread and institutionalized.

My hypothesis was that the reading (interpretation) presented of Shia Islam destroys ethics.

It seems there is a will for reform of many procedures and intentions and changes, which have not been publicized or made public, and their manifestation will probably become gradually visible to some extent later on.

What I have seen in these 48 years is completely consistent with my studies in the history of religions.

With Raisi's approval, we invited the owner of Telegram to Iran, negotiated with him, and reached an agreement.

Researcher of religions, retired professor at Mofid University, and former member of the Assembly of Lecturers and Researchers of the Qom Seminary.

And again, other respected activists, like yourself, are now asking: "Why was he not among Israel's assassination targets?"

Especially since Ali Hossein Hosseinzadeh, his uncle, is currently the Head of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, and some are making intensive efforts and consultations to get him to the Governorship of Khuzestan.

And he considered the reason for this to be that Sheikh Hassan Eskandari Nia is not dressed in clerical attire 

 along with its Secretariat, and subsequently the National Center for Cyberspace and its Regulation and Commissions Department.

It has now become clear that after his summons to the special judicial authority, he was transferred to a special detention center by issuing a legal warrant.

This is another order from the President regarding blank/white SIM cards to the Minister of Communications and Information Technology, which the responsible minister is unable to fulfill/grant.

Our beloved Iran is going through difficult and very sensitive days under the shadow of external threats, unprecedented livelihood pressures, and environmental crises.

The final verdict against Mohammad Qassem Makarem, Senior Advisor and Special Inspector to the Minister of Roads in Mr. Raeisi's government, and one other person is surprising/astonishing.

In the law, when the final approvals of the Parliament are not communicated for implementation by the President within the specified deadline, the Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly communicates them.

While the current era is the era of media, and even if you speak in a limited gathering, your words will be repeatedly published and re-published across all visual and auditory media.

Pezeshkian repeated his remarks: In 2022, people came to the streets and disrespected the Supreme Leader; but in 2025, the same people came to the streets and shouted, "My life for the Leader."

In different periods in our country, the treatment of critics or those who deny the famous narrative has been hammer-like (harsh/heavy-handed), including swearing, cursing, and sometimes even murder. Has there been a change in behavior over time?

Mr. Seyyed Sattar Hashemi, greetings. Do you remember Abdi Media's note at the beginning of your ministry?

A final decision includes either a decision not to prosecute; suspension of prosecution; or conviction

I was among the first people who offered fair and respectful criticism regarding your appointment to head a specialized organization.

Arab countries are sleeping on money (extremely wealthy), but even there, gasoline is 60–70 cents.

The annual budget of Iran's Department of Environment is only 80 billion Rials

Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Turkey, and Pakistan should not be compared with Norway.

I have not seen any authoritarian system throughout history that has endured.

Showing the solution and settling the matter with the establishment (Nezam) is not important for him.

I have not seen a single person in the streets who supports the establishment  

Khatami, Mar'ashi, Aref, and... also do not dare to voice the things Tajzadeh says.

Zibakalam: The establishment and the officials were not very pleased with the welcome/reception (shown by) the people and the famous figures.

Our current water, electricity, air (pollution), and environmental problems, which are teetering on the brink of disaster and crisis.

How has the enforcing prosecutor's office not issued an arrest warrant? And if they have issued one, how was the convict not reachable? Isn't this a bit strange?

It is necessary to observe all aspects and precautions in these matters.

Further information regarding the potential charges or conviction and the arresting authority has not yet been announced.

Abbas Abdi, a media activist, wrote in Etemad

The director of Evin Prison is still in charge.

  In other words, they are either authorized or appointed as jurists.

Don't you think this system needs to be reformed and the defined devices need to be updated?

Or did you merely write that it is the "final word" (Fasl ol-Khitab) simply because Ayatollah Khamenei personally denied it?

But what would happen if the special telecommunications services of those who are not special officials were exposed? And the private communications of those who were not required to cooperate?!! Rather....

Eshaq Jahangiri, a veteran Iranian politician, can be considered a reformist.

It's full of introducing and referring special telecommunication services (I won't name the various types) to specific people; isn't it?

If it is against the law, stop and cancel any resolution through the Board of Compliance of Government Resolutions with Laws in the Parliament or the General Board of the Court of Administrative Justice;  Will you take action?

It seems that some forces are interested in defining the current game of foreign policy as existential, so they see defeat as the end of the game and exit from it.

In Ahmadinejad's government, we did not discuss conflict management, we always talked about de-escalation, but Araghchi spoke about conflict management for the first time in the history of the Islamic Republic.

Mohammad Mohajeri wrote in Khabaronline

In a conversation with Sadegh Zibakalam, we examine the narrative of intellectualism, power, and the challenges of republicanism in present and future Iran. He believes that society must learn that it is possible to engage in dialogue on important issues despite differences and distinctions. Zibakalam, who for years has defended the right to vote, political participation, and dialogue with the system, now faces a part of society’s disillusionment with this approach and explicitly asks: Was the previous approach during the terms of Mr. Rouhani and Pezeshkian correct or mistaken? What are the reasons, and how can they be interpreted and justified?

The place of ethics in our governance and politics is missing!

If the government wants to regain its lost popularity, it must first engage in a transparent and fearless dialogue with intellectuals.

In the latest episode of Simorgh, Dr. Mehdi Motaharnia hosts Dr. Ali-Asghar Pourazzat, a prominent professor of management at the University of Tehran. The conversation begins with sharp criticisms and candid responses, and then shifts to broader discussions on public trust, wisdom, and governance in today’s Iran. The session examines topics ranging from capitulation and structural corruption to the decline of public trust and the meaning of public administration under current circumstances.

Note: This episode of Simorgh, produced by Abdollah Abdi, was recorded before the Israeli attack on Iran.

In the Constitution, alongside the term “jurists,” the phrase “fully qualified” is also mentioned.

Structural corruption, the banking system trapped in the grip of security institutions, and the education crisis; Hossein Raghfar warns bluntly in an interview that if military institutions and ruling foundations do not step aside from the economy, there will be no hope for the country’s political survival.

If our seminary cannot update itself, it is doomed to the same fate that priests and clergy of other religions have faced.

These people have seen enough blood and bloodshed; they cannot bear another disorder — in which the blood of innocents would be spilled.

The three words that will shape Iran’s future: abandoning resentment, hatred, and malice.

Note: This season of the Simorgh program, produced by Abdullah Abdi, was produced before the Israeli attack on Iran.

In a world where political order is being redefined, the key question is how reformism in Iran will have to do with the future;  Can it be the accelerator of change or will it become a deterrent?  Part of the community has passed through reformism in year 6, and this will undoubtedly affect the future of Iran and the future of politics in the country.

I wanted with all my being to prevent Jalili's presidency; because it was a continuation of the misery that started during Mr. Raisi's time.

I am in no way saying that we must cling to this system with our claws and teeth!

While natural resources can act as the cornerstone of a country's stability, their lack of proper management can lead to serious problems and even the collapse of the land.  To this end, today, with Dr. Ebrahimi, the head of the Institute for Soil and Watershed Management, we are discussing the effective challenges and strategies in the country's natural resource management.

Don't read more than two pages of the book to see what happened in 1979, you will only look at us with hatred and resentment.

After the fall of the Islamic Republic, our gaps will just explode and get out

Our society is influenced by four deep social divisions: cultural, religious, ethnic and financial divisions

With the anger I saw in the Basij's eyes, they might have shot female students if they had weapons

I believe at least 5 % of Iranian people are dissatisfied with this system
