Iran MP warns against taking political rifts into public sphere

A member of Iran parliament’s presiding board warned on Tuesday against taking disputes among officials into the public sphere, saying it could harm unity.

“All political groups, elites and those with public platforms must align their positions and conduct with the Supreme Leader’s guidance,” Ahmad Naderi said.

The lawmaker said that during the “silence of the military scene,” preserving unity and avoiding division were conditions for maintaining power.

“The battlefield is not only the military arena; diplomacy is another domain of the same battlefield,” he added.
