Today Iran’s Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei spoke of country’s elections, noting that since the Islamic revolution, Iran did not have any problems with elections.
“All of 34 elections in Iran, both parliamentary and presidential, were free and fair, ever since the Islamic Revolution in 1979,” Khamenei said.
The Supreme Leader urged some people in the country not to make provocative statements in the face of upcoming presidential elections in the country.
“The enemies of Iran are focused on the upcoming elections in the country, and we should be aware of that,” Khamenei underscored.
Note that Iranians will choose their seventh president to succeed Ahmadinejad in the next year’s election, which is scheduled for June 14, 2013. The voters will select the successor of current president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
