Leading articles
KHORASAN in a news report quotes former MP Hamid-Reza Taraqi, a member of the Islamic Coalition Party, as saying that the symphatizers of Expediency Council Chairman Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani will be allowed to participate in the upcoming parliamentary elections through the Moderation and Development Party if they have not made illegal activities. Pointing to the fact that Rafsanjani may participate in the upcoming elections, Taraqi said Rafsanjani, as a political figure and an active member in the Islamic establishment, can participate in the elections. “Rafsanjani cannot be regarded as a principlist figure,” he said. Rafsanjani and his supporters have their own views on economic and social affairs, he stated. MP Ali Asgari also said Rafsanjani, just like others, is concerned about the fact that the deviant current may manipulate the elections. It is clear that the objective of the deviant current is to manipulate the elections, he added. “I’m sure that an independent current will emerge along with candidates from the administration and principlists,” Asgari stated.
TEHRAN-E EMROOZ in a news report quotes IRGC Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri as saying that former president Mohammad Khatami is not competent enough to propose an initiative for national reconciliation. He said those who guided the political unrest that occurred after the Iranian presidential election of June 2009, are in connection with the opposition directly or indirectly and are not competent to propose such a plan. Asked if he thinks the deviant currents and seditious movement falls within the soft warfare project against Iran launched by enemies, he said, “yes”, adding that the reason why enemies are opposed to the Islamic Revolution is that it is based on religious principles. And enemies have used various methods to confront Iran’s revolution, he concluded.
