Iranians responsible for political future

The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei has cast his ballot in the Majlis (parliament) run-off elections as the second round of the vote officially started in the Iranian capital of Tehran and many other cities.

The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei on Friday described elections as very significant and said the second round of the Majlis vote is as serious as the first round.

The more votes the Iranian people cast, the more confidence the lawmakers will gain and that will enable them to do their job better, The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei emphasized.

Press TV has conducted an interview with Mohsen Saleh, political commentator, to share his opinion on this issue.

The following is a rough transcription of the interview.

Press TV: I would like to have your view on what was said there by professor Izadi [the other guest of the program] those who are watching this election process who are they and what are they looking for?

Saleh: Well once again Iran, the leadership and the people showed and proved that they are responsible and [civilized]. They are incongruity and whatever the West and the Americans and others may say and may claim, the Iranians show that they are deserving all this advancement in their political and their social and economic life.

They have proven that they are up to the challenges and they really were able to far fetch and proven to be able to circulate and do the democratic and social life by themselves.

No country in this world did not seem to have foreign observers to observe the elections except for Iran. The Iranians show that they are responsible by their leadership and they are up to the civilization now competitiveness in this world and now Iran is a very powerful country in the region and in the world.

That is why I guess this new election shows that to what extent the people participate in their political life and awareness of the responsibility and creating and they draw their future by their hands.

That is why we see the people go to the polls, go to the boxes of elections everywhere in Iran from the leadership.

The leader is aware also and he called the people for awareness and unity in order to confront all the challenges put by the West and the Americans, of course hostile challenges from these super powers but I guess the time has come that Iran would participate in the political arena in the world.
