The Kayhan newspaper claims that Khatami has made assertions whose audience is himself and his associates.
The Kayhan newspaper writes that Mohammad Khatami has made claims, the main audience of which, before anyone else, is himself and his associates, who have been at the helm of the country’s executive management for over three decades in the Islamic Republic. Today, when the legacy of their performance is a multitude of economic and social problems, instead of being accountable, they shamelessly position themselves as accusers and accuse the system of inefficiency.
Mohammad Khatami and some of his associates often claim that he is a calm and peace-seeking figure in politics, but there is no unrest or chaos in which Khatami plays a calming and reasonable role. In 2009, Khatami was also among the leaders of the coup against the people’s vote.
In 2017 and 2019, he also showed that rather than considering the welfare of the nation and the country, he prefers political opportunism over political rationality and the people’s welfare.
