Tehran, Iran – The provisional leadership council, established to ensure continuity after the tragic loss of the nation’s previous leader, has officially concluded its mandate, following the selection of Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei as the third Leader of the Islamic Revolution. This announcement was made by Tahan Nazif, Spokesperson for Iran’s Guardian Council, who extended congratulations on the pivotal appointment.
Seamless Transition and Constitutional Strength

He affirmed that the new Leader would uphold the foundational principles and revolutionary ideals championed by Imam Khomeini and subsequently by the esteemed Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. This continuity ensures the steadfast progression of the revolution’s objectives.
National Unity and International Message
Nazif praised the exemplary unity and steadfast resolve displayed across Iranian society. He noted that officials, political groups, factions, and the entire populace demonstrated immediate obedience and loyalty, reinforcing national cohesion and cooperation under the new leadership. “This message of selection, cohesion, unity, and cooperation has been received by the enemy, and its practical effects were evident in the immediate hours,” Nazif stated, emphasizing the strength derived from national solidarity.
Aspiration for Future Progress
Expressing confidence in the nation’s future, Nazif conveyed that Iran, under the leadership of Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, is poised to achieve “summits of power and glory.” He lauded the “time-knowing and insightful” Iranian people for their continuous presence in critical moments, underscoring their role in once again forging a “brilliant point in history” through their collective support and wisdom, ensuring the continued progress of the country and the Islamic Republic.
