Imam Mohammad Tawhidi

There are no elections in Iran whatsoever.

No Iranian has a voice under the system of which is the guardianship of the jurist.

Can I just explain that to the American listener?

Now, we're familiar with communism.

We're familiar with socialism, democracy.

There is a system in Iran that's not just theocracy.

It is the guardianship of the jurist, which means Khamenei or a person in his position before him, Khomeini,

is the guardian over all Muslims, not just the Shia Muslims, even the Sunnis.

He claims he's the guardian over Islam, the Pakistanis, the Malaysians, Indonesians, Saudis, UAE, it's ridiculous.

Okay, what does that mean?

It means he has the authority, absolute authority on behalf of God to do whatever he wants.

He can look at you and say, Patrick, you and your wife are divorced.

And boom, just like that, your marriage is terminated simply because he said so.

So the whole idea that 90 million people are expected to vote for a president, and then the president goes and kisses the hand of Khamenei and says, you know what?

Ignore the people.

Whatever you say, I will do.

That is the biggest scam in the history of scams that the Iranian people have to live through.

And it's not just a disaster.

It's something that is somehow tolerated by the international community, especially the Europeans.

They tolerate it.
