From Tehran to Frankfurt
What do luxury homes on London’s “Billionaires’ Row” on Bishops Avenue, a villa in Dubai, a golf hotel in Mallorca, two Hilton hotels in Frankfurt, and a shopping center in Oberhausen have in common? They are all owned by the Iranian banker Ali Ansari, who has been placed under sanctions by the British government for alleged links to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The value of his global real estate holdings is estimated at €400 million.
Now an even more explosive suspicion has emerged: behind Ansari, as the ultimate beneficial owner, may stand one of Iran’s most powerful figures — Mojtaba Khamenei, the second eldest son of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who is considered a potential successor to his father in the country’s highest office. Evidence pointing in this direction has been compiled by the news agency Bloomberg over months of investigation.
Several Iran experts and a Western intelligence service are convinced of this connection, Bloomberg reports, describing the 57-year-old Ansari as “Khamenei’s money man” and even citing details of meeting locations. If these findings are confirmed, guests at the Hilton Frankfurt City Centre or the Hilton Frankfurt Gravenbruch would be indirectly helping to finance the Iranian regime.

Satellite Photos Show Activity at Iran Nuclear Sites as Tensions Rise Over Protest Crackdown
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — As tensions soar over Iran’s bloody crackdown on nationwide protests, satellite images show activity at two Iranian nuclear sites bombed last year by Israel and the United States that may be a sign of Tehran trying to obscure efforts to salvage any materials remaining there.
The images from Planet Labs PBC show roofs have been built over two damaged buildings at the Isfahan and Natanz facilities, the first major activity noticeable by satellite at any of the country’s stricken nuclear sites since Israel’s 12-day war with Iran in June.
Those coverings block satellites from seeing what’s happening on the ground — right now the only way for inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency to monitor the sites as Iran has prevented access.
Iran’s Death Squad Atrocities Laid Bare by Brutalised Protesters
BRAVE Iranians say the world has yet to “grasp the depth of catastrophe” of the regime’s bloody crackdown as they revealed harrowing accounts of violence.
Witnesses told The Sun how they saw the Ayatollah’s ruthless stooges gun down children, burn bodies with acid, and break the limbs of protesters. Given the immense personal risk they have put themselves under to speak out, we have changed their names or left them anonymous to protect their identities.
These accounts detail the atrocities that everyday people in Iran’s MEK Resistance Units face.
One source in the city of Shiraz told The Sun: “My brother works in a hospital. Slaughter is underway. What you see is only one-tenth of reality.
“Many were beheaded. Bodies were taken elsewhere to reduce the numbers.”

Iran Protests: 450 New Martyrs Identified, Regime Declares Detaining Students Linked To PMOI
The nationwide uprising against the religious dictatorship in Iran continues to shake the regime’s foundations on Friday, January 30, 2026. While the regime’s Minister of Science has openly admitted to the continued detention of students accused of affiliation with the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), rebellious youth across the country are intensifying their campaign to dismantle the regime’s apparatus of suppression.
Meanwhile, the human cost of freedom continues to rise. The PMOI has released the names of 450 additional martyrs, revealing the brutal extent of the regime’s crackdown on women and children. Despite the repression, support for the resistance grows, with national athletes joining the call for a democratic republic.
Iranian Resistance Rally in Brussels as EU Officially Designates IRGC a Terrorist Organization
On 29 January 2026 in Brussels, Iranian freedom-loving demonstrators and supporters of the Iranian Resistance gathered outside the venue of the EU Council of Ministers’ meeting, urging European leaders to take decisive action against Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Protesters arriving from across Europe delivered a unified message that the time for the fall of religious dictatorship in Iran has come, staging a determined and highly visible rally in parallel with the Council’s deliberations.
Berlin Exhibition Honors Iran Uprising Martyrs, Calls for February 7 Demonstration
A book and photo exhibition honoring the martyrs of Iran’s nationwide uprising was held on January 28, 2026, by freedom-loving Iranians and supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), in Berlin. The event featured photos of the martyrs and informative materials about Iran’s nationwide uprising, attracting great interest from German citizens as well as members of the Iranian community. Many passersby stopped to talk, expressing their solidarity with the Iranian people’s struggle for freedom and democracy.
Countdown to the Execution of the Uprising Generation
While it is widely recognized that the statistics provided by the clerical regime regarding the massacre of the January 2026 uprising represent only the “tip of the iceberg,” and while official state media reported 3,117 deaths, estimates suggest the true death toll across Iran could be much higher. Similarly, when the FARAJA Security Police officially claim only 327 arrests as of late January (Defa Press, January 29, 2026), one can only imagine the true scale of detainees whose arrests have not been officially recorded anywhere. While reliable reports indicate that certain hospitals under the supervision of regime-affiliated individuals—such as the Noor Eye Hospital on Valiasr Street, Tehran, owned by Hassan Ghazizadeh Hashemi (former Minister of Health under Hassan Rouhani)—have been transformed into intelligence outposts for the regime to identify and arrest wounded protesters, a grave violation of medical neutrality.
Iranian Regime Majlis Acknowledges Arrest of Children in January Protests
The Education Commission of the Iranian regime’s Majlis (Parliament), while acknowledging that a number of students under the age of 18 were arrested during the crackdown on the January protests, reported that its letter to the Law Enforcement Command regarding killed and detained students has gone unanswered. Alireza Monadi Sefidan, head of the Education Commission of the Iranian regime’s Majlis, told the state-run ILNA news agency on Friday, January 30, that in this letter, in addition to asking about detained students, questions were also raised about the number of students killed and injured, but said, “So far, we have not received any response to this letter.”
Empty-Handed Resistance Confronts Armed Repression Across Iran
From January 8 to January 10, 2026, Iran witnessed a wave of coordinated urban resistance stretching from Tehran and Mashhad to Arak, Isfahan, Hamadan, Zanjan, and smaller cities. Field reports indicate that ordinary citizens—largely empty-handed and without military equipment—stood their ground against a regime that responded with live ammunition, mass arrests, and ruthless violence. The Iranian regime, relying on the IRGC, Basij, and Special Units, attempted to crush the uprising through overwhelming force. Yet across dozens of locations, protesters disrupted troop movements, dismantled surveillance infrastructure, and temporarily reclaimed streets from the regime’s security apparatus.
IRGC Economy: EU Labels IRGC Terrorist
The IRGC economy sits at the heart of Iran’s modern power structure, and the European Union’s decision on January 29, 2026 could make that economic machine more costly to run abroad. EU foreign ministers designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, a step that officials said goes beyond targeted sanctions and can criminalize financial or logistical support within the bloc. The decision was reported by the Financial Times and The Guardian as a consensus move among EU ministers. The listing opens the door to asset freezes and strict legal limits on any dealings with entities tied to the IRGC. For many European banks and companies, the practical result is often simpler: avoid the exposure entirely.
