Tehran’s Friday Prayer Leader: Political independence big asset

Political independence is a valuable and great asset, Tehran’s interim Friday Prayer Leader Ayatollah Mohammad Hassan AbuTorabi Fard said on Friday.

Today the Islamic Republic of Iran is an independent country in the region, AbuTorabi Fard said.

Referring to designation of the New Year by Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei as year of support for domestic productions, he said this is only achievable through efforts based on knowledge, science and belief.

If you want to introduce Iranian products, they should be introduced to the market with highest quality and affordable prices, he said.

It means promoting knowledge-based productions, he added.

Abu Torabi also hailed freedom of thought, speech and choice in Iran.

He also congratulated people on the Iranian New Year, Norouz.
