Iran Detains Three Top Reformist Leaders
Azar Mansouri, who heads the Reform Front, was apprehended alongside Ebrahim Asgharzadeh, the coalition's political committee chief, and Mohsen Aminzadeh, who previously served as deputy foreign minister.
Security forces leveled charges against the trio for "taking positions against the constitution" and "coordinating with enemy propaganda."
The Reform Front publicly acknowledged the arrests through an official statement published on X, the social media platform owned by the American technology company.
Mansouri assumed leadership of the Reform Front in 2023 after Behzad Nabavi stepped down, citing the completion of his two-year tenure and advanced age.
The coordinated arrests mark a significant escalation in the government's crackdown on reformist political movements, raising concerns about the narrowing space for opposition voices in the Islamic Republic.
