Leader: Iran will advance if world sees Iranian nation’s presence in ‘decisive scenes’
Leader of the Islamic Ummah and Oppressed Imam Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says if the Iranian nation shows the world that they are present in ‘decisive scenes’, they will save the country and contribute to Iran’s progress.
“Strong and fervent elections constitute one of the pillars of running the country properly,” the Leader said. “If we can show the world that the nation is present in the country’s critical and decisive scenes, we have saved and moved the country forward.”
Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks in a meeting on Wednesday with a visiting group of the families of Iranian martyrs as well as first-time voters at the country’s elections for Iranian Parliament (Majlis) and the Assembly of Experts on March 1.
Pointing to some people’s indifference to the vote, Ayatollah Khamenei said, “I am not accusing anyone, but I remind all that we should look at the elections from the perspective of national interests, not from the view points of factions and groups.”
The Leader stressed, “Anyone who loves Iran, their nation and security should know that if the elections are poorly held, no one will benefit and everyone will be hurt.”
