TEHRAN: The Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said Friday that the Iranian people’s high turnout at the polling stations will foil the enemies’ plots and will disappoint them.
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei cast his ballot at a polling station in Tehran in the first minutes of voting to elect the members of the country’s next parliament and the Assembly of Experts.
“Our dear nation should know that today, the eyes of many people in the world, both individuals and politicians and those who hold prestigious national and political positions, are on Iran,” the Leader told reporters present at the polling station at the Imam Khomeini Hosseiniyeh.
Ayatollah Khamenei called for a high turnout to disappoint enemies and ill-wishers. “Both our friends and people who are interested in the Iranian nation, as well as ill-wishers who are attracted to the issues in our country and our beloved nation from every perspective pay attention to these [elections.] The people need to make friends happy and ill-wishers disappointed.”
He further addressed the people who are still doubtful that the votes can bring changes to the country to seize the opportunity and go to the polling stations to cast their ballots.
