Ex-intelligence minister’s son denounces Iran’s theocracy over massacre

Jan 24, 2026, 17:45 GMT+0

“I despise the system and the guardianship that ordered this crime and massacre," said Hassan Younesi, the son of former intelligence minister Ali Younesi, in a post on his X account.

He described the government and the reformist camp as complicit in the killing of people.

“I despise a government that became a partner in this crime; I despise a reformism that justified this massacre; and I grieve and mourn for Iran’s children.”
