Mostafa Tajzadeh, a prominent political prisoner held in Evin Prison, accused the Supreme Leader of turning a blind eye to the nation's challenges on the eve of upcoming elections.

Tajzadeh slammed Ali Khamenei saying he "has closed his eyes to Iran's disastrous realities and ignores the cries of millions of Iranians in protest." He also highlighted widespread public disinterest in participating in the upcoming elections, stating "most Iranians have decided not to vote."

The country finds itself grappling with a myriad of economic woes that threaten to overshadow the political process. With the vote just around the corner, citizens are increasingly concerned about the state of the economy which has been battered by a combination of internal mismanagement and external pressures.

Rampant inflation and currency depreciation have eroded the purchasing power of ordinary Iranians, making it increasingly difficult for them to afford basic necessities. High unemployment rates, especially among the youth, further compound the economic distress, fueling social unrest and discontent.

In addition to the systemic issues, endemic corruption and mismanagement within the government have undermined public trust and confidence in the political establishment. Many Iranians feel disillusioned with their leaders' inability to address the root causes of economic instability and enact meaningful reforms.

The regime's heavy-handed tactics, including arrests, executions, censorship, and intimidation of political dissidents, have also created a climate of fear and mistrust among the population.

While allegations of electoral fraud have plagued previous elections in Iran, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei maintains that the electoral process has been fair and transparent. He stated in his Sunday speech that "elections in Iran have always been healthy," dismissing claims of violations as unfounded.
