Iran’s SL endorses President-elect Ebrahim Raisi’s decree

Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on Tuesday endorsed the decree of Ebrahim Raisi as the next President of Iran.

Based on article 110 of the Iranian constitution, the endorsement of the presidents’ decrees is among Supreme Leader duties.

The Late Founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini confirmed three presidents and Ayatollah Khamenei has confirmed four others so far. Raisi is the fourth president-elect, who is being confirmed by the Supreme Leader. The Leader himself was the last president, who was confirmed by late Imam Khomeini as president.

Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on Tuesday endorsed the decree of Ebrahim Raisi as the next President of Iran.

The various confirmations of presidents are proof to the fact that the Islamic Republic is based on Islamic laws and the votes of the people. In all confirmation texts recited by Imam Khomeini and Ayatollah Khamenei, the expression of “confirming people’s vote” comes before “appointment as President.”

Prior to the endorsement ceremony Iranian Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli presented a report of the process of holding the 13th presidential elections.

Leader urges formation of new cabinet ASAP

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has called on new President Ebrahim Raisi and the Parliament to pave the ground for the formation of the new administration due to the current situation of Iran.

Supreme Leader made the remark during the endorsement ceremony of the new president in Tehran on Tuesday, noting that resolving economic problems is a time-consuming job and the revered people of Iran are well aware that problems cannot be solved over one night or in a short period of time.

It is important that an all-out effort is needed to narrow down the time period, Ayatollah Khamenei said, adding that with the help of the almighty God, the job will be done and progress will be made.

There is a piece of necessary advice, which is the acceleration of forming a new government because the current situation of the country does not allow any delay, the Leader said, noting that the honored president should speed up offering his proposed ministers to the parliament and the revered lawmakers should accelerate endorsing the cabinet picks and of course they are expected to comment frankly on the proposed ministers to form the new government sooner.

Pointing to President Raisi’s communication with ordinary people as a good opportunity to find out day-to-day problems, the Leader asked Raisi to utilize the elite’s expertise as well.

Fortunately, Raisi reiterated that he will rely on the principle values of the Islamic Revolution, including justice and the fight against corruption, which is a correct path, the Leader mentioned.

Supreme Leader also stated that every economic or non-economic move should be part of a scheduled program to guarantee progress in the country.

Ayatollah Khamenei thanked God for the opportunity that the Iranians could cast their vote during the 13th presidential election to show the importance of religious democracy and the fact that the Iranian people firmly responded to the enemies’ plots.

The shift of power is promising because many new officials will take power and fresh enthusiasts especially the youths will find the opportunity to collaborate, the Leader added.
