Abdollah Abdi: It cannot be denied that our Iran is a wounded body.

They should ask this question: what happened over the course of nearly half a century under a government that some of those who chanted "Death to the Shah" when this government was founded, half a century later chanted "Long live the Shah"?

Is Amir Saeid Iravani still the Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic at the United Nations Headquarters in New York?

If the answer is yes, was he not present at the president's meetings?

Hamidreza Taraghi: The will was in the same place where the Leader of the Islamic Revolution was martyred

The martyred Leader issued nearly fifty policies on matters needed by the country to the executive, legislative, and judicial branches.

Abdollah Abdi: I am not an intellectual; I am a simple journalist and I do not claim to have a vast and sprawling organization.

I tried to be a servant of the truth as much as possible.

Bijan Abdolkarimi: Anyone who accuses the people is a scumbag; the people are not to blame and are caught up in everyday life.

Can the Mujahideen, Jaish al-Adl, and ethnic separatist forces really sit down at the same table?

Does the Commander-in-Chief use the title "Janab" for a commander with a rank from First Lieutenant up to and including Colonel, and its equivalent, for a General in the margin of the report by the commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force?

Twitter responses on September 22

Once again, after false media hype, Commander Saeed Mohammad denied his correspondence with Major General Ali Abdollahi, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces.

Publication of the image of the first handwritten note by the third leader of the Islamic Republic

This letter is addressed to Commander Seyyed Majid Mousavi and is dated the 10th of Mordad.

Hamidreza Taraqi: He (the third leader of the Islamic Republic) came to Mashhad at the time of the burial of the martyred leader and was there for a few hours.

It is not possible to make a specific prediction about when the Supreme Leader will appear; it depends on security issues and the level of conflict with the United States.

Hamidreza Taraghi: The grudge they bear against the Leader, who witnessed the Revolution, has so far made it necessary for us not to allow them to track him.

A clash of ideas takes place fully across the country; the Leader’s positions are viewed from various angles.

Hamidreza Taraqqi: The Supreme Leader is aware of the issues down to the smallest details.

The government has taken responsibility for the support dimension under wartime conditions.

Bijan Abdolkarimi: On the 8th and 9th of Dey, a violence occurred that was unprecedented in Iran's history; in such a country, this violence is quite surprising!

Anyone who downplays this incident has blood on their hands for these young people.

Bijan Abdolkarimi: With the algorithms they created and the cyber forces that supported you, did you think you had a social base?

Now that we have the IRGC, this is our situation; if they weren't here, imagine what our situation would be.

Bijan Abdolkarimi: Under circumstances where Iran's existence is in danger, is it wise to weaken the government despite having criticisms?

Intellectuals who express joy over Khamenei's assassination are clueless; they think democracy will happen under the boots of the Israelis.

Bijan Abdolkarimi: Mr. Abdi, with Abdi Media, how much has he contributed to the country's anti-colonial struggles and to increasing the nation's resilience?

Iran has managed to withstand two nuclear powers.

Bijan Abdolkarimi: Paying attention to a foreign attack is not the core of your discourse; this criticism applies to the majority of intellectuals.

We have a polarized society; one says Soleimani is a hero, another says he is a terrorist.

Abdollah Abdi: Abdi Media is not a fundraiser for the IRGC headquarters or the seminary.

What I tried to do at Abdi Media was to avoid selling dreams.

Bijan Abdolkarimi: Are those who call Netanyahu "Bibi" even one percent?

Who do you mean by "the people"? Aren't the families of military personnel part of the people?

Bijan Abdolkarimi: Isn't weakening the spirit and psyche of the nation in this way a kind of "stabbing in the back"? Abdi Media, where do you stand?

What do you mean by the absence of leadership? If it's a clown like Trump, and he's in the media every day, does that mean he's present in the course of his social life?

A Critique of the Title "Six Months of War; People in Limbo, Leadership Absent, and the Islamic Republic in a Test of Survival"

Bijan Abdolkarimi: The main problem with our opposition and intellectuals is this; before the dialogue even begins, a political and psychological conclusion has already been presented behind these discussions.

Mr. Dr. Hossein Samsami or the respected admin

Since you insist so much on using "admin," then in that case it would be good to change the account name from yourself to your office. Anyway:

Mr. Dr. Hossein Samsami, greetings. I would like to say frankly that all these matters that become publicized in the media, as well as addressing the cases of the public trust companies, are dealing with the symptom instead of treating the cause.

which apparently no one dares to address that particular cause.

Seyed Mohammad Ali Abtahi explicitly denied the account given by Commander Seyed Majid Khorasani, who is also the brother-in-law of Major General Seyed Mohammad Hosseinzadeh Hejazi, which was included in the book *Yadman-e Sardar* under the title *Sarbola

Look | Which direction is the ship of the Islamic Republic heading, and who is at the helm of the system?

From November 2019 to September 2022, and December 2025–January 2026: Why Has the Cycle of Violence Still Not Been Broken?

Four years have passed since the killing of Mahsa (Jina) Amini, the daughter of Iran. On this sorrowful anniversary, Iran once again faces a profound question.

The Day After the U.S. Election; A Big Deal or a Bigger War? Will Trump Bring Tehran Closer to the Atomic Bomb? A conversation with Fereydoun Majlesi, writer and former diplomat at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

If Iran had a nuclear bomb, Trump would have had to speak more politely to Iran's leader. Now the question is: is Trump himself leading Tehran to the conclusion that security can only be achieved with a nuclear bomb? On the other hand, the U.S. election is approaching, the war continues, the Strait of Hormuz has become a stage for displays of power, and Mojtaba Khamenei and Donald Trump are moving one step closer to a more direct confrontation every day. What will happen after the election?  

The strange phone call from Seyyed Mohammad Khatami to Major General Seyyed Mohammad Hosseinzadeh Hejazi

I was surprised; it's not customary for the president to call anyone below the commander-in-chief.

Once again, the criminal case against Gholamreza Tajgardoon.

A simple question for Mr. Nozari, Acting First Deputy and Deputy for Supervision and Inspection of the Tehran Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office.

Fereydoun Majlesi: Chronic war means that you are effectively in a state of war, without an actual war taking place!

They say there will be a war in the fall; what should we do from now until the fall?

Fereydoun Majlesi: Iran's late leader knew what the reason (for the lack of trust between the two sides) was; the reason is the slogan calling for the destruction of Israel.

He (Ayatollah Khamenei) knew that the slogan of Israel's destruction also depends on its means.

Fereydoun Majlesi: At such levels, a blood feud and personal revenge cannot be at issue.

The interests of the Iranian nation will lead to certain concessions; greater consideration should be given to the public interest.

Fereydoun Majlesi: Trump's electoral defeat is good news for the Islamic Republic; because one horn that could have been more dangerous has been broken.

America's main course has nothing to do with Trump.

Fereydoun Majlesi: We who live in Iran are caught up in a "war without bullets"

May the day never come when others make decisions for us amid chaos!

A simple question: if the rumors that Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic, will entrust the helm of the Foundation of the Oppressed of the Islamic Revolution to Mehrdad Bazrpash and issue him a decree in this regard come true

The Third Leader's perspective and horizon will be more precisely observable in the continuation of direct and indirect changes in these areas.

Twitter replies for September 16

Do you remember my sealed note to Dr Hossein Samsami, the representative in the Islamic Consultative Assembly?

Will Mohsen Paknejad finally, despite all the denials and rumours, take over the Ministry of Petroleum at the last minute, just as he did in that 90th-minute appointment?

The “Bibi's Cooking” restaurant has neither been sealed, nor has its manager been arrested, nor has a legal case been filed against it.

Do you remember my notes for the targeted waves?

Twitter replies 24th August

Well, this letter has made it clear that Mr Seyed Ali Moghadam remains the Deputy for People's Communications to the Third Leader of the Islamic Republic.

Fereydoun Majlesi: All our issues are related to this sentence: Israel must be wiped off the face of the earth!

Perhaps the Strait of Hormuz is our hostage, but the oil is not in our hands.

Is the Islamic Republic today seeking to repeat the historic episode of the seizure of the US embassy and its dealings with Jimmy Carter in its dealings with Donald Trump?

Fereydoun Majlesi, a witness to history, responds.

Second question: Is Mr. Seyyed Mehrdad Seyyed Mahdi still the public relations manager of the office of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic?

These days, the public relations office of the Leader's office is less active in cyberspace.

Iran on a sea of oil, caught in a fuel shortage; has the energy crisis reached the breaking point? A conversation with Dr. Seyyed Hashem Oraei, professor at Sharif University and head of the Union of Iran's Energy Associations.

Countries do not always suffer damage from where the enemy shoots at them. Sometimes they wear out from a place that everyone has warned about in some way for years. Sometimes it wears out from a place where we have seen for years that everyone has warned about it, but no one has been willing to pay the cost of deciding on it. "Imbalance" may be the most polite word we have created to describe one of the most ruthless realities of today's Iran; a country that sits on one of the largest oil and gas resources in the world and today also talks about electricity shortages, gas shortages, gasoline imports, fuel shortages, power plants, and matters of this kind, and the billions of dollars in capital that we still need to save our energy infrastructure.

The 200,000-toman dollar and empty tables; will an agreement with America save the economy? A conversation with Dr. Seyyed Morteza Afghah.

Our subject is the economy. The economy is not just numbers; sometimes numbers are the narrative of a nation's life. When the dollar crosses the 200,000-toman threshold, the issue is no longer merely the fall in the value of the rial. The issue is how many days a salary can buy life, what things a family must go without, and how much poorer a society can become and still endure. But one question may be more important than all: is what we see today the product of sanctions, or the product of a style of governance whose weaknesses sanctions have merely exposed in some way? If tomorrow Iran and America reach an agreement, what will happen?

From the health of the third leader and Ayatollah's will to the Strait of Hormuz and the possibility of building an atomic bomb, in an exclusive interview with Hassan Ghashghavi, the spokesperson for the National Security

Abdi Media, continuing its series of conversations, this time turned to Hassan Ghashghavi, the spokesperson for the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of the Majlis. The conversation with him began with the question: How far are we from the next war?

Fereydoun Majlesi: The clergy, which had gained power, did not even tolerate its own self-made party.

Let us strive to prevent further harm to Iran; let this bleeding and chronic war be brought to an end.

Fereydoun Majlesi: We cannot consider the situation that has been created for the Iranian nation as a victory.

Trump wants to blame his slim chances in the election on the rival party and the war with Iran.

Fereydoun Majlesi: Inside and outside Iran, two opposing groups want Iran's issues to be resolved through war.

There are forces in Iran who, before Trump's speech, support Iran going nuclear.

From Abdi Media's YouTube channel

Hossein Kanani Moghaddam, Secretary-General of Iran's Green Party: The cost of war is less than the cost of surrender.

If I had a choice, I would follow the orders of the Commander-in-Chief.

Hossein Kanani Moghaddam, Secretary-General of Iran's Green Party: If we want to use the weapons we have, the Americans might move toward nuclear weapons.

The final battle is still to come; these are just warm-ups!

Is defending "Iran" synonymous with defending the "Islamic Republic"? An exclusive conversation with Hossein Kanani Moghaddam, Secretary-General of Iran's Green Party.

Hossein Kanani Moghaddam: A strong system can preserve Iran.

Hossein Kanani Moghaddam, Secretary-General of Iran's Green Party: The IRGC is no longer commander-centric; it is structure-centric.

Up to 5-6 levels down, our successors in the IRGC and the army have been designated; they {the Americans} cannot dismantle the structure.

Fond memories—Haj Sheikh Reza Panahian's tweet and an introduction to his New World Order.

Greetings to Mr. Hossein Samsami, Member of the Islamic Consultative Assembly.

You know that if you express an opinion and raise a question from the official podium of the Parliament in your capacity as a Member of Parliament, you are also immune from judicial prosecution.

Do you remember my note about the necessity of reforming the security and protection agencies?

This is also the official channel of the General and Revolutionary Courts of Tehran; they held an explanatory and clarifying session on protection and intelligence.

Hossein Kanani Moghaddam, Secretary-General of Iran's Green Party: America seeks the collapse of Iran, not the collapse of the Islamic Republic.

In America's long-term policies, the people have no place.

Hossein Kanani Moghaddam, Secretary-General of Iran's Green Party: The governance, due to the methods it has created in its management, has created holes through which the people suffer losses.

Wrong decisions and the failure to implement communicated policies will bring corruption.

Hossein Kanani Moghaddam, Secretary-General of Iran's Green Party: We must increase the resilience of the economy.

I told Mr. Rouhani, instead of a resistance economy, you turned to economic resistance.

What is the goal of negotiating with America? A conversation with Hossein Kanani Moghaddam, Secretary-General of Iran's Green Party.

Hossein Kanani Moghaddam: In a situation where the other side is "a crazy person," we must try to contain him.

Hossein Kanani Moghaddam, Secretary-General of Iran's Green Party: If you want to implement shock therapy, the people will undoubtedly take to the streets.

We are engaged in a hybrid war.

Hossein Kanani Moghaddam, Secretary-General of Iran's Green Party: We are moving toward ending the war with a "final battle."

The Americans are stuck in the quagmire of the Strait of Hormuz.

Hossein Kanani Moghaddam, Secretary-General of Iran's Green Party: The reason people respond to the voice of the opposition is that their problems are not solved internally.

The Americans believed that if we do not create an alternative against the Islamic Republic, we cannot overthrow it.

Hossein Kanani Moghaddam, Secretary-General of Iran's Green Party: Unless we confront systematic corruption, we cannot think about economic improvement.

We are suffering from economic black holes.

Hossein Kanani Moghaddam: We are suffering from "economic diabetes"

We didn't have any luck with the opposition either! 

Hossein Kanani Moghaddam, Secretary-General of Iran's Green Party: I do not accept the "Iran vs. the system" dichotomy; a system based on democracy, the stronger it is, the stronger Iran will be.

War conditions naturally impose certain restrictions on society.

Seyyed Hashem Oraei: Our generation was not a good trustee; we are not handing over the country to the next generation as well as we received it.

We have the right to be dissatisfied with the country's situation, but we do not have the right to be hopeless.

Recently, a narrative has been published from Lieutenant General Hossein Salami stating that the technology for destroying aircraft carriers has been achieved.

Hossein Salami says in this part of the interview: American aircraft carriers are known as the symbol and manifestation of military power, the glory and awe of America's military might.

Twitter responses on September 7

Seyyed Hashem Oraei: The government has not reached the point of no return; the important thing is to find the right path.

The country's management system is not based on meritocracy, and we must take a serious look at the energy management system.

Seyyed Hashem Oraei: Energy has the capacity to not only prevent the 14th government from reaching the 15th, but even to prevent it from completing its own term.

If the 14th government can change the trend, it can remain in the 15th government as well.

Seyyed Hashem Oraei: Nuclear energy has been entirely a loss for us.

The decision to pursue a nuclear program was not one we made ourselves; it was made for us!

Seyyed Hashem Oraei: If a serious disruption occurs in energy supply, there is a possibility of social unrest.

Price reform alone will not solve our problems.

Seyyed Hashem Oraei: I am very worried about gas facilities. We have no storage capacity, and imports are also problematic.

For years, we have not even invested as much as the depreciation of the infrastructure. 

Has the war atmosphere helped the government manage the crisis?

Seyyed Hashem Oraei: The war has intensified the issue somewhat, but the energy problem was not created with the start of the war, nor will it end with the war's conclusion.

What part of the imbalance is affected by the "war"?

We have not suffered much damage in electricity; we are using the war as a justification for the blackouts.

Have the relations between Masoud Pezeshkian and his government with the third leader and his household been transformed due to the energy crisis?

Seyyed Hashem Oraei: The current situation is a good opportunity for the government.

Seyyed Hashem Oraei: Lobbying has framed the issue in such a way that if gasoline doubles, inflation will also double!

The Fourteenth Government's announcement of the new gasoline price was already consumed by inflation!

Seyyed Hashem Oraei: If we can achieve empathy and harmony with the majority of society, we can endure; we are not on such a path!

It is a custom in our country to say that the people are to blame for many of the mismanagements and problems.

Seyyed Hashem Oraei: If we go down this path a hundred times, we will end up in the same place.

The only wonder is why everyone is surprised that we ended up here!

Seyyed Morteza Afghah: The war or America's retreat should not create pride and cause us to repeat the past misguided policies.

If it is felt that misguided policies—especially in the economic, social, and cultural spheres—are being reformed, a scent of improvement will arise.

Seyyed Morteza Afghah: The war became an excuse to resolve crises in the short term.

Many individuals inside the country who participated in the tensions have come to understand many of the realities, which has removed the basis for their protests from that political logic.

Seyyed Morteza Afghah: The budget beneficiaries are costly and must be eliminated.

Low production is mainly due to domestic inefficiency.

Seyyed Morteza Afghah: The economy is heading toward an explosion; we are not at the peak yet, but we are getting there.

The coming year will be harder for people than current conditions; 6 to 7 income deciles of society will need government support

Seyyed Morteza Afghah: Some extremists, in these circumstances where they should be helping to solve economic problems, are laying the groundwork for social pressures.

Policymakers are currently not cooperating with the extremists.

Seyyed Hashem Oraei: There is no doubt that the Pezeshkian government has fallen into a trap.

If the government had sufficient social capital, it would have an easier task.

Seyyed Morteza Afghah: If the threats are carried out to the extent that is being said, it will cause dangerous problems for people's livelihoods.

We are on the downward slope of serious economic crises in the country; war can intensify the endpoint.

Seyyed Hashem Oraei: The fact that we cannot import is a blessing that should make officials take the gasoline issue more seriously.

The impossibility of importing gasoline has exposed the problem sooner.

Seyyed Morteza Afghah: We have two groups of dissatisfied people; one group is the economically dissatisfied, and another is the culturally and socially dissatisfied.

The groundwork can be laid for widespread economic, social, and cultural changes.

Seyyed Hashem Oraei: The gasoline issue is completely serious.

We have no choice but to use the strategic reserves.
