The Resistance Front of Islamic Iran political group announced Monday its support for candidate Saeed Jalili in the 14th presidential election in the country scheduled for June 28.

In a statement, the group mentioned that it has decided to support Jalili after assessing the sensitive circumstances and the necessities of the current phase, studying the backgrounds of the candidates, and discussing the matter with political elites.

The Front pointed out that the 13th presidential term, which was led by the late President Ebrahim Raisi, "managed to compensate for many damages and pave the way for progress after nearly a decade of a rhetoric that made the people's lives and the country's conditions dependent on the West."

It emphasized that on the brink of the 14th presidential term, it is crucial to pay attention to this growing and advancing path and to ensure there is no return to "periods of turmoil and tension."

The statement added that in these elections, the Iranian people are seeking a government that is highly productive, aware, and committed to the principles of the Islamic Revolution in order to "solve livelihood problems, bridge economic and cultural gaps, and safeguard the nation's interests in the region."
