in the Keyhan newspaper Later, he was the editor of Keyhan newspaper, which is directly appointed by the leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Khamenei. In an interview with Hossein Shariatmadari (2007), the New York Times writes about him: “He is the voice of radical Iran. Not only radical but also radical, secure, and inflexible. He is the editor-in-chief of Keyhan newspaper, which gives you an overview of the most extreme views of Homeland’s leaders, the way of thinking, and the plans of the people who are at the top of the power.” The New York Times writes: His writing style is always in the form of arguments. He said that no one should be afraid of him. He only intends to defend the “values of the system.” The tone of his writings is often polite, which softens his harsh messages. In his office, he always stands up to the guests and greets them with a modest smile. His critics say that he is nothing but a tool of the security forces, and people like Mahmoud Shams al-Waezin say that the truth is that his newspaper is an intelligence-security newspaper.
