Reform Front suggests attacks on non-military US assets are diminishing global support for Iran as victim of aggression
Middle East crisis – live updates
Tehran should appoint a supreme leader who will both challenge US propaganda that Iran is a war-mongering nation and reduce domestic polarisation, the country’s diminished alliance of reformist groups has said.
The Reform Front, which helped Masoud Pezeshkian become president 18 months ago, suggested that attacks on non-military US assets in the region were diminishing global support for Iran as a victim of a blatant aggression, according to comments cited in a report by the Iranian newspaper Donya-e-Eqtesad.
“The election of a new leadership of the regime could convey a message of peace and friendship with the world, and thus strengthen anti-war protests on the global stage,” the Reform Front said, according to the report. “[It] should also convey the message of the beginning of a new era in Iran; an era that promises the participation of all political and civil tastes and tendencies in the governance of the country.”
