I. Attack on the Headquarters of Ali Khamenei

The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) announced that it has submitted the names and identification details of 16 individuals arrested during the attack on Ali Khamenei’s headquarters on Monday, February 23, to the United Nations Special Rapporteurs and to international human rights organizations, so that they may inquire into their situation.

The website Rouydad 24, which is close to the regime, wrote: “What makes the case (the attack on Khamenei’s headquarters) even more complex is what Bulletin News, a media outlet close to the Revolutionary Guards, published this morning. The outlet confirmed in a report ‘nighttime explosions on Pasteur Street’ and wrote: ‘This question is not that of an external critic, but a painful cry from within.’”The author addressed officials in these terms: “Gentlemen, have you asked yourselves where the enemy’s audacity comes from?”

The same Rouydad 24 website recalled: “The most important and decisive moment that introduced the name of the People’s Mojahedin into the Iranian nuclear file on the international stage was the August 14, 2002 press conference in Washington, during which their spokesperson revealed two ‘secret’ sites named Natanz and Arak. This disclosure marked a turning point in the history of Iran’s nuclear diplomacy, as it pushed the Iranian nuclear program into a militarized phase, plunging the country into a crisis that continues to this day.”

The intelligence branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), on its website Mashregh News, stated:

“Not a single bullet was fired in this area!”

“If there were any arrests, they were not related to any operation, but perhaps to routine arrests that take place from time to time!”

The IRGC intelligence service described the clashes at and around Khamenei’s headquarters as a “media fabrication” by the Mojahedin.

The X account “Iran Military Media,” affiliated with the regime’s armed forces, wrote in the early hours of Tuesday, February 24: “In the early hours of Monday, an attempt took place. They inflicted wounds, though minor, but in the truest sense of the word, they were crushed…”

II. Protests in Universities

The state-run newspaper Shargh reported on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, that following recent protest gatherings at universities, at least 180 students in Tehran have been summoned before disciplinary committees in a climate of repression and intimidation.

According to the report, since Monday, February 22, at least 180 students have received text messages informing them that their participation in the recent gatherings was “contrary to educational and disciplinary regulations” and that they are banned from entering university campuses and educational facilities until their disciplinary hearings are held.

The Minister of Science in President Pezeshkian’s government, describing the recent student protests as “riots,” warned students that if the situation continues, the ministry will no longer be able to keep universities open.

III. Identification of Victims of the January 8–9 Massacres

To date, the PMOI has published the names of 2,572 martyrs, including 286 women. Among those whose ages are known, at least 172 are children and adolescents under 18. The actual number of young children is believed to be significantly higher and will be announced after full verification.

Javad Tajik, head of the Behesht-e Zahra Cemetery Organization in Tehran, acknowledged that more than 70% of the victims of the January uprising were given a “coup de grâce.”

IV. Tehran Stock Exchange

The ISNA news agency, citing Habib Arian, a financial markets researcher, reported that during the past 24 trading sessions, a total of 10,780 billion tomans in private capital has exited the stock market.

This massive capital flight is said to be a direct response to political uncertainty and rising international tensions.

The agency added: “A review of retail trading on the Tehran Stock Exchange shows that after January 8, the capital market entered a new phase of liquidity withdrawal.”
