Mohammad-Bagher Qalibaf, Speaker of Parliament, said in a meeting with those who were called “cultural elites”: “With all my being, I say that my belief is that for me there is no difference between the Imam, the martyred leader, and the current leader of the Islamic Revolution. The order is the order of the Leader and the Supreme Leader of the Jurist.”

The Speaker of Parliament, referring to the killing of Ali Khamenei, said: “With his words, conduct, and actions, he taught all of us and trained us.”

Qalibaf added: “Our martyred Leader made us familiar with concepts such as martyrdom, courage, anti-imperialism, resistance, and rationality.”
