Mohammad Javad Zarif distributed 300,000 Toman gift cards to buy votes
On Tuesday night, Mohammad Javad Zarif addressed the supporters of Masoud Pezeshkian, a presidential candidate, at a rally in Shiraz. In response to the chants of ‘Zarif, the sanction breaker’ from the audience, he said that our people are the true sanction breakers and have shown that the world cannot sanction this nation. In the 1990s, I was the voice of the 73% of people who participated in the elections, and I said right there, never threaten an Iranian.
According to IRNA, Zarif continued by saying the real heroes are the great people of Iran who have turned all sanctions into opportunities and stood against historical onslaughts.
He stated that we do not want our tables to become smaller and added that if we do not show up at the ballot box, we have chosen to face the next eight years with those whose only achievements are ignorance, backwardness, and disorder.
Zarif, referring to the distribution of 300,000 Toman gift cards among the people by one of the election candidates, said our villagers, workers, and employees should not have to rely on those who distributed 300,000 Toman gift cards among the people on the eve of the elections. It must be investigated where this money came from, and if it is public money, then all of them should be imprisoned; and if it is not public money, it must be clarified which sanction profiteer paid for this to pursue this degrading method in the country.
