NCRI - Friday prayer leader Mohammad Ali Movahedi Kermani, a senior cleric close to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, described the upcoming presidential election as a very critical task to overcome. Kermani went on to call on former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, without mentioning his name, to not raise much of a stir after being disqualified.
Kermani also shed light on the Iranian regime’s fear of the new U.S. administration.
“This man, who has come to power (president Trump), on his first day said he is not concerned with other countries. Just a few days later we are witnessing how he launched missiles on Syria,” he said.
“We must realize that if the U.S. sees weakness from a country it will attempt to destroy it,” Kermani added.
Ahmad Alamalhoda, the Friday prayer imam in Mashhad, warned anyone protesting the rulings of the Guardian Council that, according to an order issued by Iranian regime founder Ruhollah Khomeini, their sentence is death.
“The world considers these elections as their biggest challenge and they are seeking to overthrow this establishment…” he added.
