A majority of Leadership Assembly of Experts, a constitutional institution charged with designation of leader in the Islamic Republic of Iran, issued a statement to people to express views about the recent developments in the Iranian political scene. The statement thanked people for their 40-million-odd ballot in the June 24 presidential elections and described it a turning point in the history of the Islamic Revolution. The statement then affirmed that the notion of Velayat-e Faqih or the supervision and leadership of a devout expert in Islamic issues over the country’s affairs was a sequel to the track of Allah’s messengers and has its roots in the Holy Koran. It reaffirmed that no institution or authority, including the presidency would enjoy legality unless Vali-e Faqih, the person in the position, puts his signature of approval over the authority. “President is the executive arm of Velayat-e Faqih,” the statement noted. The experts of the assembly then renewed their approval of the leadership of Islamic Revolution Leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei. They then denounced the wicked campaign of the enemies of the Islamic Republic system following the tenth presidential elections, namely by fanning the allegations of major fraud. “By exploiting the negligence of some of polls candidates, they embarked on a full-blown psychological warfare and tried to ruin public minds through fanning the phony and myth-like allegation of major fraud which was taken from velvet revolutions projects,” the statement said. The statement then asked the head of the assembly, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani to express his support to the notion of Velayat-e Faqih more than past and wrest the enemies an opportunity to deal a blow to Iran’s national unity. The statement also asked President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to strictly follow the recommendations of the IR Leader in promotion of religion and morality, serving people and resolving their problems. It also urged the President to use all committed and revolutionary experts in his cabinet and avoid appointing people who may incite sensitivities among elites and people. The statement concluded with the hope that the elites of society pass their Divine test regarding the political developments.
