AhlulBayt News Agency: 1000 Sunni clerics and religious figures from Iran’s southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchistan have pledged allegiance with the new leader of Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei.
The statement by the Sunni scholars followed an announcement by Iran’s Assembly of Experts after the martyrdom of the late Leader of Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
The full text of the statement is as follows:
The election of Your Excellency as the third leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran has once again disappointed and frustrated the enemies of this nation.
We, the Sunni scholars of Sistan and Baluchistan Province, while celebrating this precise, worthy and wise election by the Assembly of Experts, declare our allegiance to Your Excellency.
We call on all the Islamic nation, especially the dear and revolutionary people of Iran, as well as the trustworthy and serving officials of our Islamic homeland, to support the jurisprudence with insight and empathy.
The Shia and Sunni scholars across the country have sent similar messages to vow their support for the new leader hailing the decision made amid the critical situation in the country.
The late Leader of Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Khamenei was martyred in a US-Israeli aggression against his office in the capital Tehran on February 28, leading to Iran’s retaliatory attacks codenamed Operation True Promise IV.
