Rahmani Fazli has urged the IRIB (Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting) and Guardian Council to assist the Interior Ministry in holding Iran's presidential election in the best possible way.
In a further remark, Iran's interior minister warned about the fourth wave of the coronavirus outbreak, stressing everybody to fully observe hygienic protocols.
Emphasizing the negative social, economic, and political impact of the COVID-19, Rahmani Fazli said it was not just Iran that was grappling with the fourth wave of the variant but the whole world.
