Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has warned against relaxing Iran's anti-Western stance, voiced strong support for the vetting process and said the reformers could not hope to have any real influence in the immediate future. President Rouhani is a creature of Iran's establishment, not a revolutionary. But he responded by saying that Parliament must "belong to all people and reflect the realities of the nation" and added, "If one faction is represented in the elections and another is not, then why are we holding elections?" 2016-01-29 00:00:00Full Article
