Iran’s supreme leader is calling for “maximum” voter turnout in Friday’s presidential election to “overcome the enemy.” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei made the comments in a speech Tuesday marking the Shiite holiday of Eid al-Ghadir.

Khamenei Monday said Israel is melting down due to its war against Hamas in Gaza.
“The one who has the slightest opposition to the revolution ... or the Islamic system, is not useful to you,” Khamenei said. “The person who is attached to the U.S., and imagines that without the U.S. favor it is not possible to move a step in the country, he will not be a good colleague for you.” Friday’s election comes after a May helicopter crash that killed Iran’s hard-line President Ebrahim Raisi, a protégé of Khamenei.Khamenei’s call comes after a parliamentary election that saw a record low turnout earlier this year.
Pezeshkian also has been trying to adopt symbols of previous campaigns by popular reformists, who seek to change Iran’s theocracy from inside. His campaign slogan “For Iran,” a call to nationalism rather than religion, mirrors an earlier campaign slogan used by former reformist President Mohammad Khatami.
