This was put on display with the appointment of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/inside-irans-army-of-terror-and-oppression-revolutionary-guards-irgc-part-2\/\" rel=\"noopener\">IRGC<\/a> Brig.

His core mission at the time was to conduct research on nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">He personifies the IRGC&#8217;s attempts to acquire nuclear weapons by tapping into the global black market. Back in 1986 and 1987, when the regime&#8217;s nuclear program was still in its nascent stages, Eslami headed an IRGC delegation that met with Abdul Qadir Khan, the father of Pakistan&#8217;s atomic bomb. The meeting was coordinated by Reza Amrollahi, the then head of the Atomic Energy Organization.

In the 1980s, he was groomed in the extremist and repressive &#8220;Islamic Revolutionary Committee,&#8221; whose main mandate was to root out democratic opponents. He was later rewarded with a series of promotions to senior positions, including Minister of Roads, a deputy in the Defense Industries Organization, the Head of the Defense Industries Training and Research Institute, and the Deputy Minister of Defense.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Raisi himself was handpicked by Khamenei to lead the executive branch because of his undeniable fealty to the theocracy, proven with his involvement in the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/1988-massacre-of-political-prisoners-in-iran\" rel=\"noopener\">massacre<\/a> of over 30,000 political prisoners in 1988. His key cabinet picks include multiple figures who are under sanctions by the US and the EU for their involvement in terrorism. Two of the newly-confirmed officials, Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi and Deputy for Economic Affairs <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/publications\/special-reports\/iran-who-is-mohsen-rezaei-ebrahim-raisis-vice-president-for-economic-affairs\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Mohsen Rezai<\/a>, are even subjects of Interpol warrants because of their involvement in the 1994 terrorist bombing in Argentina.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">If Raisi&#8217;s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/ebrahim-raisi-cabinet-majlis-approval-20210826\" rel=\"noopener\">cabinet<\/a> is any indication, the regime is clearly closing ranks and regrouping its most loyal functionaries in order to forestall its imminent downfall. But, it&#8217;s too little too late. These actions are a reflection of the regime&#8217;s increasing weakness and vulnerability in the face of a multitude of irremediable domestic crises as well as deepening global isolation. As recent events prove, the mullahs have no viable options to secure the sustainment of their extremist rule. The tens of millions of disenchanted Iranians know this, and they are waiting their turn.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a
