Iran Presidential Candidates Warned against Making Comments that Delight Enemies
"My advice is that these discussions that the candidates have together on TV or the statements they make either in public or individually in order to overcome the rival should not contain anything that makes our enemies happy," Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said on Saturday morning in a meeting with the country’s judicial officials, after Iranians watched overnight the third of five debates planned in the days before the vote to replace President Ehrahim Raeisi who lost his life in a helicopter crash.
The presidential election is slated to be Held on Friday, June 28.
"The words that are uttered should not please the enemy of the country, the nation and the system. This is not permissible," the Leader said.
"The assumption is that all the candidates love Iran and the Islamic Republic, since they want to become president in this system and to serve the people. Therefore, they should not speak in such a way that pleases the enemy."

In their third debate, the candidates presented their blueprints on the country's cultural and social issues. It followed the first held on Monday and the second staged on Thursday, which centered on economic and socio-economic issues respectively.
The Leader met the country’s judicial officials ahead of the anniversary of the martyrdom of Ayatollah Seyed Mohammad Beheshti and his 72 companions, which has been designated as Judiciary Day in Iran.
Ayatollah Khamenei stated that the Judiciary must work in a way that the public would see it as the house of justice and the place where rights are preserved.
“The judicial system’s main purpose must be to work bravely to ensure that justice is served, without having discrimination or privileges for any figure and that is a difficult role,” he said.
