Iran’s Next President Must Continue the Path of Islamic Revolution: Jalili
Presidential candidate Saeed Jalili says he will remain faithful to the ideals of Iran's Islamic Revolution of 1979 if elected president.
“Anyone who becomes the next Iranian president must continue on the path of the Islamic Revolution and must use all available resources to achieve the objectives of the revolution,” Jalili said in a speech at the Shiroudi Sports Complex in Tehran on Friday.
The secretary of the Supreme National Security Council stated that “Iran is an influential regional power,” and the next president must continue to tread the path of the late Imam Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, by expanding the influence of Islam across the world and diminishing the domination of the global arrogance.
Earlier this week, Iran’s Interior Ministry announced the list of candidates approved by the Guardian Council to run in the country’s 11th presidential election, which will be held on June 14.
In addition to Jalili, the Guardian Council approved MP Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel, former Foreign Minister Ali-Akbar Velayati, Expediency Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei, Hassan Rohani, the director of the Strategic Research Center of the Expediency Council, former First Vice President Mohammad-Reza Aref, Tehran Mayor Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf, and former Telecommunications Minister Mohammad Gharazi. The eight candidates were approved after a 10-day vetting process.
The president of Iran is elected for a four-year term in a national election, and the Guardian Council vets the candidates.
