Jatikay Centre backs National Security reorganisation, urges focus on emerging threats
The Jatikay Centre for Human Security and Peace Building has welcomed the reorganisation of the National Security Council Secretariat, describing it as an opportunity to strengthen Ghana’s national security architecture and improve the country’s preparedness to deal with emerging threats.
Iran has once again appointed a wanted individual implicated in the 1994 AMIA bombing to a prominent security position. Masoud Pezeshkian, the president's spokesman, announced on Monday that Mohsen Rezaei would transition from his role as an adviser to the supreme leader to become the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council.
Rezaei, a former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), is currently under an Interpol Red Notice issued by Argentina in connection with the terrorist attack that killed 85 people and remains the deadliest in Argentine history. This is the second time this year that Iran has named a suspect in the AMIA bombing to a top security role, following the appointment of Ahmad Vahidi, another suspect and also a subject of an Interpol Red Notice, as IRGC commander.
In a significant legal development in 2024, an Argentine court ruled that Iran and Hezbollah, the Lebanese proxy, were responsible for the bombing, paving the way for potential international legal action. In a recent development in June 2025, Argentina's federal judiciary ordered the trial of 10 Iranian and Lebanese suspects implicated in the attack in absentia, with Rezaei and Vahidi among them.
The other suspects include high-ranking Iranian officials Ali Fallahijan, Ali Akbar Velayati, Hadi Soleimanpour, Mohsen Rabbani, and Ahmad Reza Asghari, as well as Hezbollah operatives Salman Raouf Salman, Abdallah Salman, and Hussein Mounir Mouzannar.
