ALWAGHT- Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, Leader of the Islamic Revolution, urged the candidates in the upcoming presidential election to refrain from making statements that would please the country's adversaries.
Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, Leader of the Islamic Revolution, made these remarks during a meeting with Judiciary officials on Saturday. The meeting was held in observance of National Judiciary Week and the martyrdom anniversary of Ayatollah Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini Beheshti.
Judiciary Week in Iran commemorates Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini Beheshti and 72 of his colleagues who were martyred in a terrorist bomb blast in June 1981. Ayatollah Beheshti was the head of the Judiciary in the early years following the Islamic Revolution.
In his speech, Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized that the Judiciary should operate in a manner that the public views it as the guardian of justice and protector of rights. He stressed that the judicial system’s primary goal should be to act courageously to ensure justice is upheld.
Iran will hold presidential elections on June 28, following the martyrdom of President Ebrahim Raeisi and his entourage in a helicopter crash in May. The election's winner will succeed Ebrahim Raisi, who perished in a helicopter crash in Iran’s northwestern mountainous region on May 19.
