Affiliation: RANA/MOIS
Mohammad Mehdi Aghajani worked for Rana and was responsible for developing trojans and malware to facilitate cyber intrusions. His technical work enabled the regime to compromise targeted devices. His contributions strengthened Rana’s offensive cyber capabilities. In September 2020, the U.S. Treasury’s OFAC press release highlighted malware development as central to the MOIS-linked cyber campaign. The announcement detailed how such tools were used in global state-sponsored operations. This designation served as an international warning against these practices.
