Khamenei: The presidential election is a fateful event for the country

Tehran-Sana

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, described the presidential elections that will be held the day after tomorrow as a “fatal event” for Iran, calling for wide participation in it.

In a speech today, Khamenei indicated that the country's future during the next four years depends on the participation of Iranian citizens in these elections, indicating that without participation and attendance, the pillar of the republic in the Islamic political system in Iran will not be achieved.

Khamenei stressed the importance of popular participation in the elections in order to reduce the pressures of the enemies and nullify the effect of the embargo measures imposed on Iran.

Khamenei warned against the attempts of the anti-Iranian media to confuse the people and discourage them from participating in the elections, noting that “the little participation is followed by the increase in the pressure of the enemies on the country,” noting that the Iranian people have always participated in the elections and all the plans of the enemies fail.

5 candidates are competing in the Iranian presidential elections: the head of the judiciary, Ibrahim Raisi, the Secretary of the Expediency Council, Mohsen Rezaei, a member of the Expediency Council, Saeed Jalili, the deputy speaker of the Shura Council, Amir Hossein Qazizadeh Hashemi, and the head of the Central Bank, Abdel Nasser Hemmati.
