Ali Larijani, currently the regime\u2019s Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Two-minute read<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In a move that starkly underscores the regime\u2019s priorities, Ali Larijani<\/a>, currently the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council\u2014and long known for corruption, repression, and ideological service to tyranny\u2014has once again exposed his true face. On September 27, regime-run\u00a0Khabar Online<\/em><\/a>\u00a0quoted Larijani in Beirut promising, with brazen arrogance:\u00a0\u201cWe are following up on the reconstruction of destroyed homes in Lebanon, and we must negotiate with the Lebanese government.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The timing is no coincidence. Larijani\u2019s trip, coinciding with the anniversary of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah\u2019s death, is not a gesture of diplomacy but another demonstration of Tehran\u2019s disastrous policy: sacrificing the Iranian people\u2019s wealth to preserve its regional proxies.<\/p>\n

A Record of Corruption and Repression<\/h2>\n

Larijani\u2019s political career has always been inseparable from the machinery of dictatorship. Once a theorist of torture and repression, today he masquerades as a statesman. His presence in Beirut underscores a broader strategy: defending proxy militias by funneling Iran\u2019s resources into Hezbollah\u2019s war machine. Experts estimate that Tehran spends hundreds of millions of dollars annually on Hezbollah alone\u2014while at home inflation surpasses 50% and youth unemployment nears explosive levels.<\/p>\n

This is not diplomacy. It is organized betrayal.<\/p>\n

Poverty and Misery Inside Iran<\/h2>\n

While Larijani pledges to rebuild Lebanon\u2019s houses, millions of Iranians cannot secure a roof over their heads. Official reports by the Central Bank and the Statistical Center of Iran confirm a devastating reality: more than 60% of the population lives below the poverty line, and an ordinary worker would have to labor for over a century to afford a modest home.<\/p>\n
