The head of seminaries does not support any candidate.
Alireza Arefi, the head of seminaries, stated that seminaries never officially engage in election-related discussions. The mission of the seminaries is to clarify the criteria for a good choice. The head of seminaries added that it is the duty of the seminaries to provide information and outline the criteria for selecting the most qualified individuals for the maximum participation of all segments of society, including educators, industrialists, physicians, students, etc. Guiding this path is the responsibility of the seminaries and clergy. A member of the Supreme Council of Seminaries emphasized that we must strive to have a logical election based on jurisprudential and ethical models in the honor of the sacred system of the Islamic Republic. Therefore, we must promote these models.
