🇮🇶 Breaking — Execution of Baqir al-Sadr’s killer after decades:

Saadoun Sabri, responsible for the killing of Martyr Ayatollah Sayyid Mohammad Baqir al-Sadr (r), was executed in Iraq following completed legal proceedings, bringing long-delayed accountability for one of the regime-era crimes that shaped Iraq’s modern history. The execution closes a case that symbolized systematic repression under Saddam-era security structures, delivering justice after decades of impunity and reaffirming the state’s obligation to confront historic political assassinations rather than bury them.

National power is connected less to missiles and aircraft and more to the will and steadfastness of the people.

The presence of the people in demonstrations and the expression of loyalty to the Islamic Republic will force the enemy to retreat from greed against Iran and its national interests.

On 22 Bahman, show your will and steadfastness to frustrate the enemy.

The Iranian nation achieved a historic victory on February 11, 1979, by saving the country from foreign interference, and has continuously resisted efforts to restore the previous order.

🇮🇷 BREAKING — On the eve of 22 Bahman, the 47th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khamenei delivered a televised message addressed to the Iranian nation.

Full message is as follows:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.

The 22nd of Bahman each year is the day when the power and dignity of the Iranian nation are unveiled. A nation that, by the grace of Allah, is motivated, determined, steadfast, appreciative, and aware of its own interests and harms. On that first 22nd of Bahman, the Iranian nation achieved a great victory. It succeeded in saving itself and its country from foreign interference. Those foreigners, throughout these years, have always sought to restore the previous situation.

The Iranian nation has stood firm. The symbol of this steadfastness is the 22nd of Bahman. This march is unparalleled in the world. We know of no other country where, year after year and after so many decades, the day of independence and the national day is marked by such massive crowds across the entire country, allowing the people to demonstrate themselves in this way. Today, the Iranian nation shows itself by marching in the streets, and this forces those who harbor greed toward Islamic Iran, the Islamic Republic, and the interests of this nation to retreat.

National power is linked more to the will and steadfastness of nations than to missiles and aircraft. By the grace of Allah, you have shown steadfastness and demonstrated your will. Show it again in various situations. Disappoint the enemy. As long as the enemy is not disappointed, a nation will remain exposed to harassment and pressure. The enemy must be disappointed.

The enemy’s disappointment comes from your unity, from the power of your thought and will, from your motivation, and from steadfastness in the face of the enemy’s temptations. These are what constitute national power.

Allah willing, our youth will advance further and take action in various fields, in science, in practice, in piety and ethics, and in material and spiritual progress, creating pride for the country. The 22nd of Bahman is the manifestation of all these. Everyone appears in the streets, chants slogans, states the truths, declares their solidarity, and proclaims their loyalty to the Islamic Republic of Iran.

We hope, Allah willing, that this 22nd of Bahman, like all those of previous years, will further enhance and magnify the grandeur of the Iranian nation, and will compel other nations, governments, powers, and others to show humility and deference before the Iranian nation, and Allah willing, it will be so.

Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings.

[22 Bahman is a very important date in the Iranian calendar. It corresponds to the 11th of February in the Gregorian calendar and marks the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979.]

🇮🇷 | Iranian security forces have arrested Hossein Karroubi, associate of infamous Mehdi Karroubi.

Hossein Karroubi is identified as the instigator, drafter, and publisher of Mehdi Karroubi’s recent “structure-breaking” statements. He has been linked to anti-revolutionary networks, including Saham News and Tahkim Mellat, and is alleged to have collaborated with certain overseas opposition elements.

Mehdi Karroubi, whose positions and statements are central to this case, served as Speaker of Parliament from 1989 to 1992 and from 2000 to 2004, and was a presidential candidate in the 2005 and 2009 elections. He has often been described as a “moderate” with a mostly rural base of support, considers himself a pragmatic reformist, and later emerged as one of the leaders of the Iranian Green Movement.

Karroubi was among the major figures behind the unrest in 2005. At that time, it was the leniency of the Iranian judiciary that allowed him and many others to operate with relative freedom. As of now, if such figures are not restrained, they will continue to gather influence and generate further problems for Iran’s internal security. A majority of these actors operated under the banner of the right to expression, yet repeatedly created instability for the state. They played significant roles in the formation and establishment of shadow micromanagement structures linked to foreign adversaries inside Iran, often by using their influence to grant licenses to cafés and NGOs that functioned as Trojan horses for Israel.

Iran has usually confined such individuals to house arrest. However, they have continued to enjoy dignified living conditions within legal procedures. It should be recalled that other infamous figures, such as Sadegh Rouhani and Sadegh Shirazi, were also placed under house arrest, yet were still able to pursue their shadow agendas with relative freedom. This is what distinguishes Iran from many regional and European countries.

One must remember the actions of these infamous networks so that, years later, it is not claimed that Khamenei suppressed people for speaking the “truth.” That so-called “truth” was, in reality, the script of Mossad.

☑️ | People often dislike it, but we do not need nuclear weapons, and nuclear capability is not everything for Iran. It is an achievement and revolutionary development for the country's progress, and it will not be reduced to zero under pressure. However, in return for the removal of crushing economic sanctions, and with human (not the subhuman liars) mediators and guarantors, it can be resolved with relative ease. As the Leader said, “the issue is not nuclear.” We all know the issue is to demolish Iran.

So Iran is ready to fight the battle, but if the Americans calculate and want to step back, they must proceed on this basis. Though nothing will happen other than America remaining a permanent enemy, Iran will continue resisting and fighting. But keep in your mind-Nuclear is not everything!

🟨 Breaking — Statement issued by Hezbollah regarding Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon:

Hezbollah condemns the serious aggression carried out by the Israeli enemy through its incursion into the town of Al-Hibariyeh in the Hasbaya District and the kidnapping of the Islamic Group official in the Hasbaya and Marjeyoun areas, brother Atwi Atwi, from his home, as well as the assault on him and his family, terrifying them. Hezbollah also condemns the two attacks: on a vehicle in the town of Yanouh, which led to the martyrdom of three people, including a child, and the martyrdom of a citizen in the town of Aita al-Shaab. These events confirm the criminal and brutal nature of the Israeli enemy, based on killing, terrorism, piracy, and its complete disregard for Lebanese sovereignty.

This dangerous development signals the beginning of a new phase of Israeli lawlessness and rampage, based on incursions, kidnappings, and hostage-taking, which exposes all southern residents to direct danger and puts them under constant threat, in the absence of any deterrent or protection against an enemy that violates all norms and respects no laws or international agreements.

In response to this blatant aggression, especially following the Prime Minister’s visit to the south and witnessing the suffering of our people and the occupation on our land, the Lebanese state is today required to assume its full national responsibilities, in accordance with its commitments in its ministerial statement. It must end its silence and incapacity, adopt deterrent measures, take firm and clear positions, and act immediately at all political, diplomatic, and legal levels. Serious efforts must be made to protect citizens and not rely merely on statements that fail to prevent the enemy from continuing its aggression and lawless actions.

🇮🇷 | 🔍| Major structural changes occurring in Iranian armed forces? (1/4):

There are major structural changes occurring in Iran related to the military and its associated organizations. Historically, significant events have revealed certain shortcomings in management due to a variety of reasons. These challenges show that, in some cases, evolution is necessary for improvement. The ongoing changes in Iran’s military structure can be understood in this context, as steps taken to address previous limitations and to adapt to new strategic requirements.

For example, Iran’s Defense Ministry has announced that new military achievements and capabilities will no longer be publicly unveiled, citing security considerations. Public unveilings and media announcements have been halted to maintain operational surprise, while the systems are already active in both offensive and defensive roles. The ministry continues to focus on technology, artificial intelligence, and cyber development to further strengthen the country’s defense power.

This rationale also explains why Imam Khamenei did not host the annual meeting with IRIAF pilots and generals. Such decisions are part of broader structural and managerial reforms designed to enhance security and ensure more effective oversight. Overall, these changes reflect a deliberate effort to modernize the military, improve management, and protect strategic capabilities from potential exposure.

According to some reports, a plan has been under review to merge Iran’s two main intelligence bodies, the Ministry of Intelligence and the Intelligence Organization of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), into a single unified entity called the National Intelligence Organization (SAMA). This move reflects ongoing efforts to streamline intelligence operations and reduce redundancy, aiming to strengthen coordination across the country’s security and military apparatus.

It should be noted that, based on experiences gained during past conflicts, and with Major General Seyyed Abdolrahim Mousavi serving as Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, significant changes are expected at the top levels of the armed forces. These changes have reportedly been proposed by him and approved by the respected Commander-in-Chief, who sits at the apex of the military command structure. Such reforms aim to improve efficiency, prevent overlapping responsibilities, and adapt the armed forces to evolving strategic needs.

In line with these reforms, credible reports indicate that measures are being implemented to prevent duplication between the General Staff and the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters. Following consultations and proposals, a decision has reportedly been made to keep the structure of the Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters intact while placing it under the authority of the General Staff. The head of this headquarters will serve as the deputy to the Chief of the General Staff, consolidating oversight and simplifying the chain of command. In addition, two positions within the General Staff—the Deputy for Operations and the Deputy for Intelligence—are being eliminated. Their responsibilities will instead be jointly assumed by the Operations and Intelligence Deputy of the Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters. At the same time, Brigadier General Vahidi is reportedly moving from the position of Deputy Chief of the General Staff to become the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC, replacing Brigadier General Fadavi.

Changes are also expected within the IRGC itself, affecting command and combat organization structures to enhance agility and operational efficiency. These adjustments are said to be based on detailed studies and lessons learned from confrontations with adversaries over recent years. All of these reforms will be implemented under the direct approval and orders of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Imam Khamenei, reflecting a comprehensive effort to modernize Iran’s military and intelligence structures while strengthening overall security.

According to Tabnak, citing the Jomhouri Eslami newspaper, this issue remained hidden within the deeper layers of defense policy for decades. Today, under the pressure of rapidly unfolding regional developments, economic crises, and costly international decisions, it has turned into a strategic question: Is the current structure of Iran’s armed forces aligned with the requirements of national security and the country’s long-term interests, or not?

Recently, I reviewed the memoirs of Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani. In an entry dated the second day of Farvardin 1368 (March 22, 1989), he wrote:

“I went in the afternoon to visit Imam [Khomeini]. I explained the situation of the Army and the IRGC, raised the problem of duality within the armed forces, the excessive costs of parallel organizations and duplicate forces, and the necessity of cohesion. Imam was concerned that merging the Army and the IRGC would provoke anger among the forces and lead to conflict. Although he accepted that they would eventually have to become one, he did not consider the timing appropriate. However, he did not oppose the merger of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of the IRGC.”

After the victory of the Islamic Revolution, given the revolutionary conditions, widespread insecurity, and the weakness of inherited structures from the past, various institutions emerged alongside official bodies. Many of these played decisive and vital roles at critical moments. However, as the country moved beyond emergency conditions and entered a phase of stabilization, the continued existence of parallel institutions gradually revealed its consequences. After the end of the war, the first serious step toward integrating the country’s defense structures was taken. While this decision appeared administrative on the surface, in practice it signaled a shift in the country’s decision-making approach from dispersed revolutionary management to structured and centralized governance. The merger of the Ministry of the IRGC into the Ministry of Defense, approved by parliament, aimed at creating unified management of defense and military support affairs and became a turning point in organizing the nation’s defensive capabilities, opening a clearer horizon for the future of the armed forces.

At that time, three main institutions responsible for order and security—the Police (Shahrbani), the Gendarmerie, and the Islamic Revolution Committees—despite their extensive and sometimes decisive services, faced significant overlap and parallelism in their missions. On one hand, society encountered three different security authorities, and on the other, this fragmented structure often acted not as complementary but as competing entities, leading to operational conflicts. The decision to merge these three bodies, under the direct management of Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani and with the cooperation of the armed forces and the government, ultimately led to the formation of the Law Enforcement Force of the Islamic Republic of Iran (NAJA).

Among all areas discussed for structural reform, the merger of the Army and the IRGC held a uniquely sensitive position. The experience of the imposed war clearly demonstrated that unity of command and coherence in decision-making structures were essential for survival and success in national defense. This necessity was explicitly stated in the historic decree appointing Hashemi Rafsanjani as Deputy Commander-in-Chief, issued by Imam Khomeini on June 2, 1988, which explicitly included the integration of parallel forces and the organization of institutions with overlapping responsibilities among his missions. This decree reflected not only the need for unified command but also the leadership’s determination to pursue structural reforms in the defense sector. Based on this mandate, intensive sessions, prolonged negotiations, and detailed studies were conducted to reach a joint operational model among the forces. Ayatollah Hashemi seriously began efforts to merge the two.

(4/4):

Given Abdullah Nouri’s experience in the merger and formation of the Law Enforcement Force, responsibility for this integration was also entrusted to him.

However, following the passing of Imam Khomeini and the beginning of Ayatollah Khamenei’s leadership, only a few days later he ordered that the sessions related to the Army–IRGC merger plan be halted. He stated that he did not believe in merging the Army and the IRGC, emphasizing that they were two armed pillars of the Revolution and the Islamic Republic of Iran and should remain as such, continuing their duties in cooperation with one another according to the law. This decision defined a path of cooperation while maintaining separate responsibilities, and the leadership instructed the General Staff of the Armed Forces to delineate the respective missions of the Army and the IRGC through formal sessions.

At the time, this decision was understandable and even necessary to preserve stability and calm within the armed forces. The problem began when the separation of missions gradually drifted away from legal frameworks and overarching policies and was not fully and systematically implemented in practice. The expanding presence of military institutions in areas beyond purely military missions—from the economy and politics to media and even forms of diplomacy—opened a path inconsistent with both the philosophy of the armed forces’ existence and the vision of the founder of the Islamic Republic. The result was not an increase in national power or strategic cohesion, but rather the emergence of a controversial, factional, and multifaceted image of a military institution. Domestically, this became a source of political disputes, and internationally, it provided a pretext for pressure, sanctions, and costly and unnecessary decisions against Iran’s national interests.

Perhaps a significant portion of today’s problems, from the economy to foreign policy, stems from this confusion of roles—where military institutions enter arenas for which they were neither designed nor capable of managing the consequences. Today, what can both stabilize national security and help the country move beyond costly deadlocks is the rational unification of power and a return of each institution to its legally defined roles. Such a return to the logic of law and institutional division of labor may well pave the way for containing hostile enemies more effectively, while also reducing the accumulated burdens placed on the people.

The writings presented are based on reports and information received from various sources. What we expect are the best possible outcomes if any changes are implemented. We appreciate and endorse steps taken to maintain secrecy and strategic discretion. In this regard, repeated public exposure of missile cities is not a sound strategy. Likewise, revealing the identities of armed positions and those responsible for holding or managing them is counterproductive. These tactics need to be reconsidered and adjusted.

That said, there are indications that positive developments are underway.

May Allah bless the Islamic Republic and its people, and may Allah bless the leadership and the armed forces.
