Iran's supreme leader sent $4b. to son's account in Venezuela - report
The Jerusalem Post ^ | February 15, 2023 | Benjamin Weinthal

The founder of the Ahvazi Liberal Party – an organization opposed to the Islamic Republic of Iran – claims to have secured a document in which the supreme leader of Iran transferred $4 billion to his son's personal Venezuelan account.

According to a translation of the document by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), the transfer request was sent by Mohammadi Golpayegani, Chief of Staff of Khamenei's office, to Dr. Ali Saleh-Abadi, the governor of the Central Bank of Iran. Ali Khamenei is the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The letter read: "In light of the current crisis in the country and the extensive wave of rioting by antirevolutionary elements and rioters across the country, and the security institutions' declaration of a Level Orange alert, your honor is requested to transfer the sum of $4 billion (US) [sic] from the state treasury to the personal account of Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei at the Central Bank of Venezuela, in Venezuela."

Timing of the letter amid the ongoing protests in Iran

On February 12, Hamid Mutashar, founder of the Ahvazi Liberal Party tweeted the letter. The timing of the letter took place as Iran's regime is gripped by anti-regime protests in response to the theocracy's alleged murder of the 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in September because she failed to entirely cover her hair with a hijab.

Sounds like they’re preparing in advance for a possible coup or revolution.

“the supreme leader of Iran transferred $4 billion to his son’s personal Venezuelan account.”

*************

In our country the son transfers money to the supreme leader.

10% for the Big Guy don’t you know.

Nothing to see here. In Venezuela, $4B should only last a few weeks anyway.

Rat leaving the ship. They are on the verge of a nuclear weapon and will be denied just short of it. So he is stealing what he can on the way out.

Hard to believe that anyone would be so dumb as to send $4billion US dollars to a bank in Venezuela. Seems like a phony document put forth by the opponents of the mullahs. They need lessons in propaganda.

Same old story of greed.

Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is a piker. His money is a pittance compared to what Saint Zelensky is pulling in and cleverly and surreptitiously transferring overseas.

From your lips to God’s ear. I like the Iranian people and they deserve better than what Carter gave them.

Where else might the Ayatollah go? At least Venezuela is an oil country which Iran can understand. North Korea (too cold), Cuba (too much Russian control?), Serbia (too small), an Arab country (Iran is Persian, not Arab). Saudi Arabian influence is very anti Iran.

So his son is already there, that makes a difference, although 4 billion is probably only a downpayment. Incidentally, anyone know where Putin has stashed his $200 billion?
