RNA – Ayatollah Mohsen Heydari, the representative of the people of Khuzestan province in the Assembly of Experts, cast his ballot this morning at Jawad al-Aimmah Mosque in Ahvaz.

The Iranian scholar stated that voting is an act of worship and said, “With their presence at the ballot box, the believers are seeking the approval of God and the Imam of the Time [Imam al-Mahdi] and respond to the call of the Imam, the martyrs and the Supreme Leader.”

Ayatollah Heydari noted that the people’s presence in the elections was a strong slap in the face for the United States who killed Martyr Qasem Soleymani and said, “On such a day, which is said to be a day of public jihad by Supreme Leader, one must be present at the ballot box.”

He continued, “The presence of the people at the ballot box is a response to the Imam and the Supreme Leader and the foundation for the preparation of the country to elect revolutionary, religious and efficient representatives.”

Ayatollah Heydari expressed hope that a revolutionary Islamic Consultative Assembly would be formed and a revolutionary government would be formed from within so that a revolutionary government and Islamic Consultative Assembly would move toward the Supreme Leader and conquer the peaks of success for the Iranian people one after another.
