On Monday, May 27, 2024, the twelfth term of the parliament of corrupt idlers and Khamenei’s sycophants began its work with flattery towards him. In this gathering, all previous heads of the chatter houses, except for Karroubi, were present, all of whom have files filled with corruption and crime. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the former Speaker of the Parliament, is a criminal brigadier general of the IRGC. He personally played a role in various massacres of opponents and protesters, including the brutal massacre of students in 2003. During his tenure as the mayor of Tehran, several major corruption cases were revealed, for which he has not been held accountable. His family’s corruption, conducted with his participation and authority, is also notorious, with one of the most infamous cases being the “Baby Goods Gate.” Alongside this criminal general, the newly elected senior chairman also has several corruption files under his arm.
However, the most infamous attendee was Mohammad Mokhber, the First Vice President of Raisi, the executioner of 1988, and the acting President. Mokhber, who for decades served Khamenei’s economic and repressive interests in a semi-covert manner, has now been sent to the field completely openly. This individual, himself a cleric’s son, according to leaked information, is as ruthless as his ignorant and murderous masters, such as Raisi and Khamenei. In 1980, armed with a Colt and Uzi, he and Ahmad Jannati led a group of thugs in an attack on Jundishapur University in Ahvaz. He personally caused the deaths, injuries, and arrests of a number of students. An eyewitness says Ahmad Jannati, as the temporary Friday prayer leader of Ahvaz, told the detainees: “It’s a pity to execute you. It’s better to throw you into the Karun River so at least the sharks will be fed.” Mokhber and his criminal accomplices, according to Jannati, who at 98 attended the opening of the 12th Parliament, threw the bodies of some detainees into the palm groves of Ahvaz or the Karun River.
Mohammad Mokhber led the “Executive Headquarters of Imam’s Directive” for 14 years. Reuters investigations have shown that this organization was built on the systematic and organized seizure of thousands of properties belonging to ordinary Iranians. It also confiscated the assets of religious minorities such as Baha’is, merchants, and Iranians living abroad. This institution still seizes the assets of political prisoners and embezzlers today and is involved in managing these assets. In 2013, Reuters reported the assets of the Executive Headquarters to be worth $95 billion. This unrestrained organization is one of the main pillars of the economic mafia ruling Iran, accountable only to Ali Khamenei.
Mohammad Mokhber, who might become the next organizer in the sham election of 28th June 2024, alongside his repressive capabilities, also possesses cunning and deceitful skills. On the exact day of the 27th of May, he made a spectacle by pulling out a dusty plan from the drawers and issuing 23 orders to the government and governors. According to this plan, which was dubbed a miracle in the 90th minute, officials are tasked with reducing inflation and unemployment, boosting production, and employing so-called skilled, qualified, young, and revolutionary forces in the departments under the Ministry of Interior, including governorships, county governments, and district offices. They are also tasked with overseeing dissatisfied individuals and foreign nationals.
Among the mentioned orders, the first part will not be feasible in the mafia-like, entirely corrupt, and crisis-ridden system. But the second task is something that the Ministry of Intelligence and the IRGC’s intelligence organization are constantly engaged in and will continue to do. Gathering information, imprisonment, torture, and execution are the utmost duties for the participants in the inauguration of the twelfth Parliament and for Mokhber himself. The day after the inauguration, they re-elected a suppressor like Ghalibaf as the Speaker of the Parliament to show that after the death of the executioner of 1988, everything will continue as before. The joyous reactions of the people after the death of that executioner and their courageous writings, alongside the continuation of workers’ strikes and protests by women and justice seekers, indicate the reality that things may not continue as they are. Rather, workers, fighting women, and all freedom seekers have the material ground and possibility to bury the Republic of Ignorance and Crime. The coming days and the sham election of 8th Tir, which will be much less attended than the election for Raisi’s appointment, will provide more reasons to prove this judgment.
