Three-minute read<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n This morning, Iranian state television broadcast images of the regime\u2019s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, meeting with members<\/a> of Ebrahim Raisi’s cabinet. In the meeting, presided over by Acting President Mohammad Mokhber, Khamenei used the opportunity to set expectations for the new president-elect Masoud Pezeshkian, and his future administration.<\/p>\n Khamenei extensively praised the slain predecessor Raisi as a role model for his desired \u201cmanagement\u201d stating, “Martyr Raisi was genuinely hopeful and optimistic about the future, firmly determined to achieve the outlined goals.” He added, “Raisi was clear and unwavering in his revolutionary stances. In his first interview, when asked about establishing relations with a certain country, he decisively said no. This clarity was evident in all his actions.”<\/p>\n Khamenei emphasized the importance of recording these traits as a standard for Pezeshkian, saying, “It should be documented as an example that a head of the executive branch can possess and pursue these practical, intellectual, and heartfelt qualities.”<\/p>\n In his remarks, Khamenei also attacked rival factions within the regime, criticizing their lack of commitment and reliability, and contrasting them with what he praised as dedication to involvement in the Iran-Iraq war and foreign operations in Syria and Iraq, framed as “defending the holy shrines.”<\/p>\n In #Iran<\/a>\u2019s Sham Presidential Election, the People Won and #Khamenei<\/a> Losthttps:\/\/t.co\/2SjElsj9ZK<\/a><\/p>\n — NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) July 7, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
