According to a video and report published by Iran International, Rashid Mazaheri, a former goalkeeper for Iran’s national football team, stated in a video message prior to his disappearance that the Islamic Republic and Ali Khamenei are responsible for the crackdown and killing of protesters in Iran.
According to the report, the video was recorded on February 24, 2026. In the message, Mazaheri referred to the violence carried out against protesters, saying he could no longer remain silent about what was happening to the people of Iran and stressing that the international community should be aware of the situation facing citizens in the country.
Mazaheri, who previously played for clubs including Esteghlal, Sepahan, and Tractor, had earlier posted a critical message about the Supreme Leader on his Instagram page. According to Iran International, the post was removed from his page a few hours after it was published.
The report states that contact with the former national team goalkeeper was lost following the publication of that post, and since then there has been no information about his whereabouts or condition. His family says that seventeen days after his disappearance, they still have no information about his fate.
Mazaheri’s wife had previously expressed concern about his safety, stating that given his public criticism, the Iranian authorities bear responsibility for his wellbeing.
