In his latest speech on the occasion of judiciary day and in the presence of President-elect Ebrahim Raisi, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei addressed Iran’s June 18 elections and discussed doubts about the judiciary changes made by Raisi.
Khamenei said Iran’s presidential elections were "truly an epic created by the Iranian people.” He said many Western countries and even some Arab countries in the Persian Gulf were hoping for a low turnout given Iran’s tough economic situation and the disqualifications of many candidates, but they were proved wrong. Foreign-funded Persian language television shows such as Voice of America, the British Broadcasting Corporation and Iran International all had mostly negative coverage of Iran’s elections.
