TEHRAN- A representative from the Iranian Parliament highlighted the importance of “not placing hope in the enemy” as a key piece of advice from the Leader of the Islamic Revolution to the government officials.

Mehdi Koochakzadeh, who represents the people of Tehran and serves on the Energy Committee of the Iranian Parliament, shared insights in an interview with ISNA regarding the Leader's remarks during the initial meeting with the president and the fourteenth government. 

He emphasized, “Government officials should align their actions with the criteria that have qualified them for their positions, as well as the commitments they have made in various forums.”

“They must follow the guidance and recommendations of the Leader and the principles of the wise revolution to ensure their conduct is sincere and free from hypocrisy,” he added.

Koochakzadeh stressed that any government official who disregards the Leader's recommendations, especially if such disregard is intentional, is undoubtedly acting hypocritically, and the public will respond accordingly. 

Koochakzadeh noted, “All the Leader's recommendations hold significant weight,” and pointed out that, given the advisors appointed in the government thus far, the Leader's advice against placing hope in the enemy may be deemed more critical than any other guidance provided to government officials.”

He underscored, “Many of the Leader's other recommendations are reflected in the commitments made by the president and the cabinet during their votes of confidence, and neglecting these could be seen as a violation of promises, potentially amounting to treason, which is unbecoming of the government.”
