The senior clerics met with Ayatollah Khamenei after elections for the Assembly of Experts was held in Iran last week on r March 1st.

Addressing the meeting, Ayatollah Khamenei said a new parliament is like fresh blood in Iran’s political and social structure.

The Leader urged the newly-elected Iranian lawmakers to be cautious not to embitter the nation and the political atmosphere of the country.

The Assembly of Experts should never neglect the fixed principles of the Islamic Republic in its decisions, he further noted.

Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized that divisive words, quarrels, and hostilities, which are favorable to the enemy, can kill the sweetness of the new parliament, advising the new lawmakers “to be very careful.”

The Leader emphasized that Iran should always stand at the forefront of the battle against global arrogance and added that the country should strengthen its fight every day and never allow anyone to defeat it.

Iran stands up to oppression, arrogance, and aggression, the Leader said.

Ayatollah Khamenei explained that Iran has no conflict with governments, countries, and nations but it opposes oppression, arrogance, and aggression, like the events currently unfolding in Gaza.

A nation is being oppressed in its own homeland, the Leader lamented, adding that women, children, and family members are being killed in cold blood and the nation’s infrastructure is destroyed.

However, some countries are only watching such criminal acts unfold and instead of ending their support for the perpetrators, they rather help them, Ayatollah Khamenei stated.

The Leader reiterated that Iran opposes the help provided by the US, Britain, and some European countries to the perpetrators of such criminal acts.
