RFERL:
Former chief of the joint staff of Iranian armed forces, Major General Hassan Firouzabadi says he has returned a 10 thousand square meter villa he had occupied for 25 years.
Earlier, in what appeared to be a new round of infighting among Iranian conservatives, an ultraconservative student group had called on Firouzabadi on June 17 to return the expropriated villa, but Firouzabadi claimed on June 19 that the villa was given to him by the Islamic Republic’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to be used by him “for top secret business of the armed forces’ joint staff.”
In an open letter to Tehran’s prosecutor, an ultraconservative student group, called Justice Seeking Students Movement (JSSM), said Khamenei “has twice ordered the evacuation of the villa, but it is still occupied by the retired IRGC Major General Firouzabadi.”
Firouzabadi denied receiving any evacuation order. However, the student group told Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA) that a court order has been issued ordering Firouzabadi to evacuate the villa, but he refused to do so and the police refused to carry out the evacuation order.

I read somewhere it was the "Leader" who wanted him out which would make sense if the "fundamentalist" students were the instrument, if true then it is another Akhoond smoke and mirrors show for something trivial.
