London, Asharq Al-Awsat, 6 April, 2018 - A group of 300 conservative figures and Basij officials in Iran wrote an open letter to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei about existing concerns regarding the internal condition of Iran, criticizing Iran’s policy on the nuclear deal and its quest after regional dominance.

The Basij officials warned from the worrisome they have towards the future of the country and the gap between the people and the authority, stressing that the internal problems include all bodies of the authority.

The signatories backed stances of former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejadwho sent a similar letter on Feb. 19, considering him the basic figure among the political elite to support national demands.

They slammed arresting individuals close to Ahmadinejad, doubting that the “revolution goals” were accomplished under the current structure and systems in the country and stressing that they have reached the worst condition during the past four decades.

The signatories criticized the “wrong strategies” in foreign policies and accused the diplomatic body of wasting the Iranian revolution and the popularity of Iranians in huge parts of the region.

The letter comes two weeks after the speech of Khamenei.

Regarding the parliament, the letter said that there was no hope that the parliament enacts national laws that serve the best interest of the people.

The letter slammed the judiciary authority in Iran considering it the axis of oppression. In the economic aspect, they accused the government economic institution of marginalizing Iranians, noting that some active institutions in the Iranian economy are not subject to accountability.
