Hamid Enayat continued to spread his propaganda against the Iranian regime at WorldNetDaily. Among them:
- Why Iran’s leaders are cracking down hard on their own population
- Iran: The 3 guillotine blades hanging over the regime
- ‘Imminent’: Tehran’s nuclear threat and the urgent need to trigger the snapback mechanism
- Iranians demonstrate in NYC for ‘snapback’ to save their nation and the Mideast
- Trump’s peace plan a strategic blow to the Iranian regime
- Iranian regime on brink of collapse amid internal discontent and power fractures
- Growing revolt: Radical inflation in Iran causing collapse of large middle class
- Iran’s crisis is no longer ‘unrest’ – it’s a struggle for power
Enayat also performed the occasional deviation from right-wing narratives, such as an August 2025 column that argued against a return to power by Reza Pahlavi, the son of the former Shah of Iran, asserting that ” The Pahlavi dictatorship cannot reclaim power on the blood of hundreds of thousands of freedom fighters – this time repackaged in the name of modernism.” He added that “Pahlavi’s claims of contact with segments of the regime and the IRGC, supposedly to help lead a transition to democracy, are nothing more than a bitter and grotesque farce.”
But as we’ve documented, Enayat may not be who he says he is. There is a Hamid Enayat who is a Iranian scholar who wrote a key text on the subject, “Modern Islamic Political Thought” — but he died in 1982. His son, Hadi Enayat, is a political sociologist who examines similar territory, but he looks nothing like the photo that accompanies Hamid’s column. Since we first asked this question of who Enayat is, no answer has been forthcoming from WND.
Should WND want to know if it’s being scammed by someone using the name of a famous Iranian scholar, if that’s indeed the case? Inquiring minds want to know.
