Mohsen Rafiqdoust, one of the most notorious and corrupt military and intelligence figures of the Islamic Republic, has published confessions in the form of memoir recounting, which has sparked abundant reactions on social media.

In 1969, Mohsen Rafighdoust became associated with the People’s Mujahedin of Iran (MEK) terrorists in the Hedayat Mosque related to Taleghani but did not become a member of the MEK terrorist cult; however, he always assisted them. Later, he also collaborated with one of the terrorists affiliated with Khomeini—specifically, a person named Ali Andarzgu.

Regarding Andarzgu, it should be noted that when the patriotic and professional SAVAK agents killed him on August 24, 1978, people on Iran-Shahr Street applauded and whistled for the SAVAK agents and expressed their joy. Andarzgu was associated with another dangerous terrorist affiliated with Khomeini—Navab Safavi—and the terrorists of Fada’iyan-e Islam, and was a member of the terrorist branch of the Islamic Coalition Party. Even Ali Khamenei has mentioned in his memoirs that he once saw him on a motorcycle, under whose basket was full of ammunition and weapons, and on top of it, he had placed chickens and roosters.

Rafiqdoust was a member of the Freedom Movement and a follower and imitator of Khomeini, a member of the Fada’iyan-e Islam branch, and also a supporter of Mossadegh. It should be mentioned that the MEK terrorist cult originated from the bowels of the Freedom Movement—supporters of Mossadegh. Rafiqdoust says in his memoirs that he received religious sanction and fatwa from Motahari, Mahdavi Kani, and Milani—three clerics supporting Khomeini—that subsequently, with a sledgehammer and baton, he killed one of the SAVAK agents in Tehran’s Shush Square.

This bloodthirsty thug, a supporter of Khomeini, openly says that he was a murderer and says in Khabar Online on September 26, 2020, that he is a military man with a history of much suppression. His son-in-law—Mahmoud Mohtashami Pour—is the brother-in-law of Mostafa Tajzadeh, who was a member of the terrorist group Falag and is now in Evin prison.

When Shahriar Shafiq was assassinated on December 7, 1979, or General Oveisi on February 7, 1984, Rafiqdoust was the Minister of the IRGC. And when Bakhtiar on August 6, 1991, and Fereydoun Farrokhzad on August 7, 1992, were assassinated, he was the head of The Mostazafan Foundation of Islamic Revolution , formerly Bonyad-e Mostazafan va Janbazan (Foundation of the Oppressed and Disabled or “MFJ”).

It is interesting that today, the hated terrorists involved in the 1979 revolt have become proponents of human rights and democracy, yet there are no complaints against this wolf and vulture cannibal in court, and no demands for compensation are made.

However, if we want to examine the publication of this document of crime and murder from a security studies perspective, it should be noted that:

  1. This is a direct admission of state-sponsored terrorism and a direct confession of the Islamic Republic’s involvement in the assassination of opponents.
  2. The use of a proxy terrorist group—which, of course, he says had cooperated with Marxist separatists and armed Basques in Spain (ETA , Euskadi Ta Askatasuna). And his words mean the use of terrorist groups and criminal cartels for security purposes and the extent of the Islamic Republic’s terrorist network operations within European soil.
  3. Information and psychological warfare to divert public opinion and downplay the role of the Islamic Republic.
  4. A message to Western intelligence security agencies that in the event of international pressure on the Islamic Republic, the threat machine becomes active, and in fact, it was a threat signal.
At the regime’s ceremony of officials with Khamenei on March 8, 2025, Rafiqdoust was also present at the meeting. He is positioned behind Ahmadinejad on the left side of the image in the second row. Picture: Radio California – Free for all platforms

Overall, Mohsen Rafiqdoust’s statements open a new chapter in the examination of Islamic terrorism and show how Islamic compassion and mercy are active in the government of Allah on earth and pure Mohammadan Islam. And it also refers to Mohsen Rezaei, a member of the Islamic terrorists of the Mansoorun, and his statements were nonsensical and exaggerated ravings of a rebellious troublemaker similar to another terrorist named Ali Mohammad Javaheri Besharati—Minister of the Interior under Rafsanjani—who had the terrorist group Qanat and later became part of the IRGC’ command.

These statements demonstrate how the nature of murder and terrorism is among the Hezbollahis who support Khomeini.
