On June 25, using Eid al-Ghadir to mobilize his forces and deliver his final directives, the clerical regime\u2019s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, gave a public speech indicating his firm decision for the upcoming sham presidential election on June 28. <\/span>This address<\/span><\/a> was a desperate attempt to ensure that the next president aligns perfectly with his oppressive regime\u2019s agenda.<\/span><\/p>\n Khamenei emphasized two points in his speech: the need for the regime to demonstrate maximum participation and the selection of a candidate who strictly adheres to his roadmap for survival and leadership replacement. He framed these demands within the context of maintaining the fa\u00e7ade of a democratic process while clearly manipulating the outcome to his advantage.<\/span><\/p>\n He brazenly accused those boycotting the election of laziness, dismissing widespread public discontent and resentment towards his regime. \u201cParticipation is essential. Those who are indifferent or lazy are neglecting their duty to the nation,\u201d he said, revealing his disdain for the majority who oppose his rule.<\/span><\/p>\n Khamenei\u2019s contempt for true democratic principles was evident as he spoke about the importance of high voter turnout. He shamelessly admitted that the primary goal of this participation was to enhance the regime\u2019s image internationally. \u201cHigh turnout brings honor to the Islamic Republic,\u201d he declared. \u201cEvery election with low participation gives our enemies reason to criticize us. We must not give them that satisfaction.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Khamenei\u2019s Blueprint for #Iranian<\/a> Regime\u2019s Next Governmenthttps:\/\/t.co\/o1Z49BMhR7<\/a><\/p>\n — NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) May 23, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
