We begin tonight’s edition of A Window to the Fatherland with Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh reading one of his poems from the book of his collected works.
Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh:
In tonight’s program we will shed some light on the story of how the former chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces General Hassan Firouzabadi has been illegally living in a luxurious villa in the Lavasan district of Tehran.
Firouzabadi used to be a permanent student at Khamenei’s Quran classes in the city of Mashad and this led to their close friendship. He later developed kidney problems and due to his obesity could no longer be in his military position.
Since then he has been acting as a military advisor to Khamenei. In answering to the reports that he has been living in his villa residence illegally, Firouzabadi has said that Khamenei had given it to him 22 years ago.
He has even claimed that he has been using his residence as a “top secret location” for his military duties, while not being able to produce any documents to show his legal ownership of the property.
In the meantime a radical Islamist student union has asked that Firouzabadi must evacuate the villa or the Tehran Court of Justice evict him. However judiciary officials have said that they have no order to evict him from the 10,000-meter area villa.
Israel’s internal security agency (Shin Bet) has announced that former Israeli government minister Gonen Segev has been charged with spying for Iran.
According to Israeli media, the former energy and infrastructure minister – who also spent time in jail for drug smuggling, forgery and fraud – was arrested on suspicion of “assisting the enemy in a time of war, spying against the State of Israel and providing intelligence to the enemy”.
Segev is suspected of providing his Iranian handlers in Nigeria with intelligence related to, among other things, Israel’s energy industry, security sites, buildings and officials in Israeli political and security bodies.
The European Union has now strongly condemned the execution of Mohammad Salas, a member of Iran’s Gonabadi Dervishes.
In the second part of the program we will update our audience with the latest news of the Middle East and how Khamenei’s son, Mujtaba, and commander of the Quds Brigade Ghassem Soleimani are doing their best to interfere in the outcome of the recent Iraqi elections.
And at the end of the program we will reveal how several corrupt interest groups within Iran’s Oil Ministry are involved in stealing billions dollars from the oil revenue.
They include Reza Mehrabi, Reza Yousefi, Morad Shirani Takabi and his wife Shahla Kiani, as well as Taheri, who are all linked to the household of Ali Khamenei.
We can reveal that so far they have stolen more than 5 billion dollars of Iran’s oil revenue and have paid a commission of £400,000 to Hadad Adel, the father-in-law of Khamenei’s son.
