Brother (Meisam Zohourian)
Introduction: As Germany classifies energy infrastructure as a critical national security asset, the presence of individuals with deep-rooted ties to the Iranian regime within companies like EnBW raises serious alarms. The case of Reihaneh Zohourian, a project manager at EnBW, suggests a deliberate pattern of deception regarding her financial and family ties to the Islamic Republic’s power structure.
1. The “Revolutionary” Family Tree: Contrary to claims of being distanced from her family, documents reveal:
-
Brother (Meisam Zohourian): A current member of the Iranian Parliament who recently made headlines by wearing the IRGC (Revolutionary Guard) uniform in parliament to show solidarity with the terror-listed organization.
-
Father (Ali Asghar Zohourian): A veteran of the IRGC with a documented ideological background.
2. Financial Deception: The “Toos Company” Link: The most damning evidence lies in the Iranian Business Register. In October 2024, Reihaneh Zohourian participated in a capital increase for Toos Industrial Company in Iran. She remains a direct business partner of her brother, contradicting her claims to German authorities that she has no financial ties to Iran.
3. Intentional Concealment: The Italy Trip (May 2025): While Ms. Zohourian reportedly informed German security agencies that she has severed ties with her family, evidence (including photographs) confirms a family reunion in Italy in May 2025. This proves a continuous, close relationship that was intentionally hidden to maintain her security clearance.
4. Digital Identity Scrubbing: Following the FOCUS Online expose in February 2026, the subject changed her LinkedIn name from “Reyhaneh” to “Reihaneh”. This tactical spelling change is a clear attempt to decouple her professional profile from investigative reports and search engine results related to her regime ties.
Conclusion: With access to sensitive energy projects, Zohourian’s position constitutes a significant Compliance and Security Risk. Her documented lies regarding her financial partnerships with a regime official and her family’s IRGC background necessitate an immediate review of her “Üo” (Security Check) status.
