By Staff, Agencies 

The spokesperson for the Islamic Revolution Guards [IRG], Brigadier General Ramezan Sharif, warned that “Infusing despair and despondency in Iran’s society and seeing a low turnout in the upcoming elections in the country are among the objectives pursued by the enemy.”

Addressing a group of media activists and Baseej forces in the northwestern city of Tabriz, Sharif said “The enemy front has always seen the election seasons in Iran as a time to escalate its lie-mongering, painting a black picture of the situation in the country and spreading lies and false claims against the Islamic establishment and the Iranian nation.”

“Infusing despair and despondency and causing a low turnout in the polls are among the objectives of the enemy,” he said.

Sharif further added that “In order to counter such a plot, it is incumbent upon the country’s media activists to promote massive participation in the elections.”
