RNA – In an exclusive interview with Rasa News Agency, Ayatollah Mohsen Mojtahed-‎Shabestari, a member of Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council, referred to the issue of the ‎increased price of gasoline and the violent actions against the Islamic Revolution in Iran over ‎the past few days, including the destruction of public property and said, “The increase of the ‎price of gasoline gave a rallying point to the anti-revolutionary elements and they began to ‎destroy property and riot.”‎

The teacher in the Islamic Seminary added, “Those who attack the offices of Friday prayer ‎leaders, buildings of the Martyrs’ Foundation, mosques and gasoline stations are definitely ‎not ordinary people‏ ‏and these actions are definitely the work of anti-revolutionary elements.”‎

Ayatollah Mojtahed-Shabestari stressed that these actions are certainly the actions of anti-‎revolutionary elements and added, “This destruction is the will and demand of the enemies ‎and are against reason. The United States is very happy that rioting and chaos has been ‎created in Iran and these actions have been condemned by all of the people.”‎

His Eminence said, “The government and supervisory bodies must take a serious stand ‎against the increased prices of commodities. The control of prices is very important. In ‎Tahrir al-Wasilah, Imam Khomeyni said that the Islamic government has the right to set the ‎prices for all data-x-items and anyone who violates it must be punished.”‎

He added, “Prices should be logical. The rise in the price of gasoline and the payment of ‎subsidies must not cause prices to rise. Dealing with offenders and saboteurs must be ‎pursued and lead to the people’s consent and satisfaction. The government must adhere to ‎the promises it gave to the people.” ‎

Ayatollah Mojtahed-Shabestari said, “We condemn the anti-revolutionary actions which lead ‎to the contentment of the enemies of the system of the Islamic Republic‏ ‏and we hope that ‎the security bodies will seriously dealing with the anti-revolutionary elements.”‎
