Iran NTV Exclusive: Vahid Baniamerian’s Final Defense Against the Regime

Simay Azadi (Iran NTV) – A smuggled video from Iran’s notorious Evin Prison has captured the final, unyielding defiance of Vahid Baniamerian, a 32-year-old member of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) known within his unit as Commander Vahid, who was executed on April 4, 2026. Five other PMOI members from the same group on identical charges of supporting the opposition were also execution from March 29 to April 4. In the recording, Baniamerian rejected the legitimacy of the “tribunal that bore no resemblance to a court” that had sentenced him to death, dismissed the regime’s offer of repentance as meaningless, and delivered a stinging indictment of its long history of suppression—reaffirming instead his commitment to a democratic Iran and the 10-point plan of Maryam Rajavi. His words, now a posthumous testament, underscored the resolve of a generation that has come to see personal survival as secondary to the struggle for the nation’s freedom. The Full Remarks of Vahid Baniamerian: Greetings and salutations. I am Vahid Baniamerian, a 32-year-old political prisoner currently under a death sentence. I am very happy to be able to send this message to you—the people of Iran and the world—from behind the bars of Evin Prison. My goal in insisting on the publication of this video, despite all the consequences it may have for me, is to make my defense public. Since this regime knows very well it has no legitimacy, it is terrified of public trials for political prisoners. So, to the “Supreme Leader” who wants to execute us to create fear in society, to stop the movement, and to block the revolution: I want to remind you that I and those like me rose from the blood of freedom-loving youth who, throughout these years, remained nameless. Without many knowing who they were or what they did, or what tortures they endured in your dungeons, they never bowed to you or Khomeini, and thousands upon thousands kissed the gallows. Be certain that if you execute me and my kind, we will only multiply, even if you hide our corpses. And be certain that your regime will have no escape from being overthrown. I, along with five of my friends, was sentenced to death in a tribunal that bore no resemblance to a court. Essentially, the judiciary and the security apparatus in dictatorial and fascist regimes are pillars of suppression and crime, not executors of justice and law. That is why our responses were very short. We do not recognize such an apparatus at all and have nothing to say to it. What I said in court can be summarized in a few sentences: We do not accept the charges you leveled. We were entirely under mental and physical torture throughout the entire process following our arrest. And for a court whose result is predetermined, it makes no difference what answer we give. Please do not trouble yourselves with these formal trials. Based on your Imam’s words, anyone who “stands their ground” is considered “Mahdour-ol-dam” [one whose blood can be shed] and deserves execution. Well, I am standing my ground. That is all. That was our entire trial. But now, I want to publicly announce my response to the four questions raised in this court before the people, addressing the regime directly. Question one: Why didn’t you pursue a normal life after being released from prison? Why are you wasting your youth? My answer to the regime is this: May that life be forbidden to me if the price is stepping on my conscience and closing my eyes to the pain of my people. You have miscalculated. I will neither return to that “normal” life, nor will I allow you and your guards to comfortably continue your lives through plunder, destruction, and the massacre of people. This is the very beauty of life for me: “Life is but belief and struggle” (Innama al-hayat aqida wa jihad). After my previous release from prison, you yourselves exiled me to Bashagard. I saw with my own eyes the innocent Baluchi children perishing in deprived huts [kapars] due to a lack of resources. Should I remain silent while you lounge on the throne of power, living off the people’s pockets and the blood of the youth, continuing your massacres and destruction? Should I focus on my own studies and personal life while millions live below the poverty line, and your warmongering, misogyny, and double oppression against ethnicities and religions continue? Never. Never. Let me be very clear: under a death sentence, I rest my head on my pillow at night not with fear of your gallows, but with the memory of my people’s pain. I think of the bitter fate of those child vendors on the Seyyed Khandan pedestrian bridge who were before my eyes for four whole years. My classmates at K. N. Toosi University probably remember them. Where are they now after 10 years? What are they doing? For what sin? Often, the wails of those poor mothers and fathers echo in my mind and ears, taking sleep from my eyes—like the father in front of the Kermanshah hospital, holding his sick child who needed surgery. They had no money, and the father said in Kurdish: “How can I raise this much money with a worker’s wage? Must I let my child die?” And the mother shrieked: “How can I let my child die? O God! O Justice!” And now you talk to me about a “normal life,” you sellers of religion? You have miscalculated. Let me make it perfectly clear who my role models are. They are the Ashrafis—the ones whose very name terrifies you. Those who gave their youth, their entire lives, and everything they owned for the freedom of the people and the prosperity of this land, from Kurdistan to blood-soaked Baluchestan, and from the marshes of Mahshahr to Azerbaijan and every single city in Iran. Question two: Do you accept the charges? My answer is: Which charges? For the mullahs’ terrorist

Who was Iran’s Dictator Ali Khamenei?

Simay Azadi April 2026 – April 8, marked the 40th day since the death of Ali Khamenei, the Iranian regime’s supreme leader. Khamenei’s final days were defined by the January 2026 uprising, where his final act of domestic policy was the “black bag” strategy—broadcasting images of dead protesters in industrial bags to terrorize the public. It was the closing chapter for a leader whose transition from a minor cleric to a multi-billionaire dictator left Iran on the brink of ruin.  Roots and the “Superficial” Scholar  Born in Mashhad on April 19, 1939, Khamenei was the son of Javad Khamenei, a cleric born in Najaf, Iraq. His education began in traditional Maktab-khanehs and progressed through various seminaries in Mashhad and Qom. However, his religious credentials were long disputed; his brother-in-law, Sheikh Ali Tehrani, described his studies in Qom as “superficial and unfocused,” noting that he spent only four years in serious study and lacked the focus required for high-level jurisprudence.  His political activities occurred at age 23, not through a pursuit of democracy, but in opposition to the Shah’s “White Revolution.” Alongside Khomeini, Khamenei opposed land reforms and women’s suffrage, viewing these changes as a threat to the feudal class interests of the mullahs. During the Shah’s reign, he was arrested six times, with his longest stint being an eight-month imprisonment in 1975.  The Path to Absolute Power  Following the 1979 Revolution, Khamenei moved rapidly through the regime’s hierarchy, serving as a representative to the Defense Ministry, the Imam of Friday Prayers in Tehran, and eventually President from 1981 to 1989.  His path to the Supreme Leadership was somehow cleared by the 1988 massacre of 30,000 political prisoners. Hussein-Ali Montazeri, the designated successor to Khomeini, was ousted and placed under house arrest after protesting the execution . Following Khomeini’s death in 1989, Khamenei was elevated to Supreme Leader with the help of Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, despite lacking the constitutional requirement of being a high-ranking mujtahid (jurist). At the time, Khamenei himself admitted his own inadequacy, stating, “We should weep tears of blood for the nation for which even the possibility of someone like me becoming the leader is proposed.”  As the Iranian regime marks 40 days since Khamenei’s death, it is worth remembering his own words before taking power in 1989: “One should weep tears of blood to even consider me for leadership.”Tens of thousands of killings and executions later, he was proven right.#IranWar pic.twitter.com/y6eyU9Rt2F — Ehsan Eghbal Eslami (@Ehsaneghbale) April 9, 2026 A Governance of Blood: Domestic and Foreign Terror  Khamenei’s 37-year reign as Supreme Leader was marked by the systematic elimination of dissent:  The $200 Billion Shadow Empire  While a 2018 Gallup poll ranked him as the world leader least attentive to his people’s welfare, Khamenei amassed a fortune estimated by the U.S. Embassy in Iraq and reported by Reuters at $200 billion. This wealth was managed through the “Setad” (Execution of Imam Khomeini’s Order) and various foundations like Bonyad Mostazafan and Astan Quds Razavi, which own thousands of companies in shipping, dairy, and oil.  His personal life stood in stark contrast to his public image of a “pious ascetic”:  The Cost of “Strategic Depth”  Khamenei’s foreign policy funneled the nation’s wealth into regional chaos:  The Final Failure  The regime’s supreme leader consistently preached a doctrine of “No war, no negotiation.” Yet, his strategic blindness led to both. By early 2026, his provocations resulted in the direct military confrontation that claimed his life. He died leaving behind an Iran scarred by 47 years of clerical rule—a period that began with a “superficial student” and ended with a billionaire dictator whose final legacy was the “black bags” of his own citizens.  In 2018, Ali Khamenei, as the Iranian regime’s supreme leader, said: “There will be no war, and we will not negotiate.”Eight years later, after major changes in Iran and across the region, negotiations have taken place, war has broken out, and he himself has been killed. https://t.co/Q8KEjdP64h pic.twitter.com/qBXUJlmfMd — Ehsan Eghbal Eslami (@Ehsaneghbale) March 29, 2026

Simay Azadi Exclusive: PMOI Commander on Feb. 23 Offensive on Khamenei HQ

This report features a firsthand account from a commander of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) Resistance Units who participated in the offensive against the headquarters of the Iranian regime’s Supreme Leader on February 23, 2026. Positioned within the second ring of engagement, the commander describes the tactical movement through Tehran’s back alleys, the intense firefights with security forces, and the vital support provided by local residents. This testimony highlights the determination of the units to strike at the center of the regime’s power despite the heavy presence of the IRGC and specialized protection forces. The Commander’s Report: Hello and greetings. It was around 10:00 PM on Sunday, February 22nd, that according to the plan and schedule we had prepared beforehand, we got our tools and equipment ready. We had to travel a certain distance, and considering the security atmosphere there, we had to start our work around 4:00 AM according to our schedule. Before entering the path, all the guys took an oath together, and with the memory of the resistance martyrs and prisoners, we encouraged ourselves and renewed our covenant to strike at the heart of darkness today—meaning the head of the “Snake of Supreme Leader.” Along the way, we sent a couple of the guys ahead of us, and they identified points where inspections were possible and reported back to us. Through the secondary back alleys, we managed to reach the location we had in mind. In fact, the further we progressed along this path, the more the feeling of power and motivation grew within us. Our entire focus was on being able to carry out our mission in the best possible way. When we reached our intended location, we once again, very quickly, reminded ourselves of our duties. Then, immediately, we moved from Jomhouri Street toward Vali-e Asr. I was moving ahead when suddenly the sound of gunfire and volleys rose from the direction of Azarbaijan, Loghman, and Jami streets—which are the entrances to “Khamenei’s Beyt.” At this point, the guys immediately readied their weapons. With the start of these other units’ activities—as soon as the sound of these noises and explosions rose—the agents poured out like ants and locusts. We couldn’t afford any delay. We immediately began firing toward the security forces, and I can say they were completely caught off guard. This situation was quite evident because their attention was entirely focused on the forces ahead of us who had initiated the operation. This caused us, right at the start—due to that surprise—to take down a number of them. A number of them fell on the sidewalks, and the rest retreated. Of course, they were also firing back at us, but their shooting was blind. It was almost dark, and unfortunately, in the midst of this, one of our guys was hit by a bullet. The others pulled him to a corner so he wouldn’t be in the line of fire of the regime’s forces. Then, we continued firing with even greater intensity. I believe this situation lasted for about half an hour. The sound of gunfire and explosions had filled that entire area. The problem we faced was that we ran low on ammunition. During this time, the guys charged at the enemy with full force. They felt as though they were facing an entire battalion, and this was the reason they just fired blindly and without a target. The casualties they suffered were because of this. They didn’t have the courage to get close to us. We took advantage of this situation and tried to pull back, to get ourselves out of that zone. I should also add that it is a residential area. The help from the people who were there early in the morning was truly effective in our escape from that area. What was very noteworthy was the motivation of our guys to strike them and take them out of action. I must say here that I am proud of every single one of them. You might not believe it, but those who had been shot had morale that was perhaps even higher than ours. Another point I find necessary to mention is the help and assistance of the people in the area. Despite all the dangers this could have entailed for them, they truly did not withhold anything. I once again took an oath that on the path to overthrow the regime, I would not neglect any effort. In the words of Massoud Rajavi and Maryam Rajavi, may God find us worthy to save the people of Iran from the clutches of this bloodthirsty, anti-human regime. And with God’s help, we will certainly accomplish this. Additional Info – According to the Command Headquarters of the PMOI/MEK inside Iran, heavy clashes occurred from the early hours of Monday, February 23, 2026, until that afternoon around Khamenei’s headquarters in the Motahari Complex. This 620 by 770-meter compound houses the offices of Mojtaba Khamenei, the Guardian Council, the Judiciary, and the Ministry of Intelligence. While more than 100 Mojahedin fighters were martyred or arrested, over 150 fighters operating in the second security perimeter (a 350-meter radius) returned safely to their bases. The complex is defended by nearly 8,000 personnel, including the IRGC Vali-e Amr Protection Corps and the Ansar al-Mahdi Corps. Despite the presence of reinforced concrete walls and anti-drone barriers, internal collaborators helped disable surveillance cameras at dawn. Following the attacks—first reported by state-affiliated media at 6:00 AM—heavy casualties were reported within the compound, leading to continuous ambulance traffic until noon. IRGC-run Bultan News admitted the severity of the breach, questioning how the “enemy” achieved such audacity in the heart of Tehran. Meanwhile, the regime has initiated brutal pursuit operations across the capital, though many citizens continue to provide shelter to wounded fighters.

Who is Mojtaba Khamenei? Iran’s New Supreme Leader  

The Life, Crimes, and Dynastic Rise of Mojtaba Khamenei  March 8, 2026 — On March 8, the Iranian regime’s Assembly of Experts officially chose Mojtaba Khamenei to succeed his father as Supreme Leader. While the state presents him as a man of faith, investigative dossiers reveal a “corrupted prince” who has spent decades commanding paramilitary death squads and amassing a private fortune through the systematic pillaging of Iran’s oil wealth.  I. The Indoctrination of a Successor  Born on September 8, 1969, in Mashhad, Mojtaba was groomed within the regime’s most elite and controversial circles.  II. The “Commander of the Coup” (2005–2009)  Mojtaba’s rise to power is inseparable from the subversion of Iran’s elections and the blood spilled on Tehran’s streets.  III. Regional Ambitions: The “Iraq Iftar”  Mojtaba has long acted as a shadow diplomat, directing regional instability alongside the late Qasem Soleimani then commander of the IRGC’s Quds Force.  IV. The Global Property Empire: The Bloomberg Investigation  A recent landmark investigation by Bloomberg has exposed how Mojtaba used a network of shell companies and loyal oligarchs to shield a massive international real estate portfolio from the Iranian public.  V. Financial Crimes & The 1.6 Billion Euro Embezzlement  Mojtaba’s name is synonymous with the pillaging of the public treasury (Beit-al-Mal).  Conclusion: A Legacy of Repression  By elevating Mojtaba Khamenei on March 8, the Assembly of Experts has once again showed that the regime lacks any pretense of religious or popular legitimacy. Mojtaba takes the throne as a leader who is already reviled for:  His reign begins with a nation united by a single, decades-old slogan: “Mojtaba bemiri, Rahbari ro nabini” (Mojtaba, may you die and never see the Leadership). The “Shadow Prince” has become the Sultan, but he inherits a country that has already rejected his family’s right to rule, as it rejected the rule of the Shah and his son.
