Qazizadeh Hashemi: I still haven’t decided to run in the elections
Qazizadeh Hashemi, speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the cabinet meeting, said that during these times, people approach those who are considered potential presidential candidates. Many have approached me as well, but I truly haven’t decided yet. The reason is that participating in such fields is a communal obligation.
He stated that in our Islamic system, we are not after positions or gaining power; it’s about service. When there are enough suitable individuals to serve, the responsibility is lifted from a person.
In response to the question of whether there are suitable individuals in the field, he emphasized that they need to register to make it clear. We hear many names, but no official stance has been announced by them. So far, maybe one or two people have issued statements.
