The Leader of the Islamic Revolution Sayyed Ali Khamenei said a high voter turnout in the upcoming Iranian elections, set for June 28, fills Iran with pride and helps the nation defeat its enemies. 

Sayyed Khamenei made the comments in a national address before thousands of citizens from several provinces, including Tehran, Gilan, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, Markazi, and North Khorasan, on the occasion of Eid al-Ghadir on Friday.

He said the upcoming elections were considered a test to be taken by the people of Iran, noting they were now "more important than ever."

The leader further expressed hopes that the elections would bring pride to the nation through "maximum participation" and the selection of the most suitable presidential candidate. 

He also affirmed that the presidential elections played a significant role in challenging and overcoming the nation's enemies, urging voters to show up in great numbers to the polls and consequently stifle Iran's ill-wishers. According to the leader, a low voter turnout serves as a tool the enemies use to discredit Iran.

Regarding reliance on world powers, Sayyed Khamenei slammed politicians who believe that progress comes from the United States, disapproving of their notions. "The one who thinks that it is not possible to take steps without favors of the US, he will not manage [the country] well," he emphasized. 

The Iranian leader stated that the best candidate is someone who can harness domestic opportunities and resources, particularly the nation's young and educated population.

"The Islamic Republic has shown that it can advance without relying on foreign powers and it has done so."

Iran's Ministry of Interior announced on June 9 the names of the six candidates who are competing in the country's upcoming presidential election set to be held on June 28.

Currently, Vice President Mohammad Mokhber is acting as Iran's interim president following the death of Iran's late president, Ebrahim Raisi, who died following a helicopter crash on May 19.
