In June, the Iranian regime\u2019s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, pulled the notorious Ebrahim Raisi out of the ballot box. Selecting Raisi as the regime\u2019s new president was the last step by Khamenei to consolidate his regime.<\/p>\n

During both sham presidential and parliamentary elections, Khamenei used his Guardian Council, an organization tasked with vetting<\/a> candidates, to eliminate the candidates of the rival factions or those from his own faction who could pose the slightest challenge to his regime. The regime\u2019s parliament approved Raisi\u2019s cabinet<\/a>, which consisted of thieves and internationally wanted terrorists, in line with Khamenei\u2019s policy of consolidating his regime.<\/p>\n

While many may consider Khamenei\u2019s actions are coming from the position of strength, state media and regime officials acknowledge that Khamenei\u2019s contraction policy is doomed to fail.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cabinet members<\/a> were introduced to the parliament and received a vote of confidence from the parliament. What are the characteristics of this cabinet and what consequences will it have in society?\u201d wrote the state-run Aftab News, quoting Hamidreza Jalaiepour from the rival faction.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the engineering of the [sham presidential] elections, people understood that the government was not pursuing a commitment to democracy and people\u2019s dissatisfaction because of the crises of livelihood, health, the environment, and corruption. Rather, it seeks to consolidate the ruling system so that it can deal with and control the country\u2019s crises with greater efficiency,\u201d Jalaiepour acknowledged.<\/p>\n
