Iran's Supreme Leader bans acts that 'harm social cohesion'
Iran's Supreme Leader bans acts that 'harm social cohesion' Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said he had banned people from "committing anything that harms social cohesion" and urged authorities to avoid any “discouraging statements that weaken national and public motivation," in a written statement published on Friday.
Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, has issued a written statement banning acts that harm social cohesion. According to The National UAE, he urged authorities to focus on highlighting the country's "power and strength" rather than publicising problems.
In the statement, Khamenei emphasised the need to avoid "discouraging statements that weaken national and public motivation". He also appreciated the government's actions, particularly those of President Masoud Pezeshkian, who was due to appear on television shortly after the statement was published.
Khamenei's message appears to be a response to recent economic concerns, including long queues at petrol stations in Tehran and new US sanctions aimed at isolating Iran's economy. Middle East Eye reports that Khamenei forbade acts harming social cohesion, without providing further details.
