Reza Rashidi, a member of the Iranian parliament's presidium, told the ISNA agency that certain figures continue to raise divisive and conflict-provoking issues, thereby straying from the supreme leader's directives. He stated such individuals 'will be purged' from Iranian society and called on media and intellectuals to strengthen national unity, according to the report.
Reza Rashidi, a member of the Iranian parliament's presidium, issued a warning about internal divisions within the country, signaling ongoing political friction even as Iran's leadership projects unity on the external front. Speaking to the semi-official ISNA news agency, Rashidi claimed that certain actors continue to raise issues that are divisive and provoke conflict, thereby moving away from 'the leader's line and his instructions' — a reference to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. He asserted that 'such people will be purged from the dear revolutionary and Islamic society of Iran' and called on media and intellectuals to act to strengthen national unity. The remarks come amid a broader backdrop of Iranian officials striking hardline tones on national security and resistance: as The Zioneer has reported, over the past several days parliament chairman Ibrahim Azizi, speaker Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf, and spokesman Ebrahim Rezaee have all delivered statements framing Iran as still at war, on the verge of victory, and prepared to escalate. Rashidi's warning of internal purges adds a domestic dimension to that posture, suggesting the regime is policing dissent within its own political class even as it projects strength outward. The statement is sourced from a single report and cannot be independently verified at this stage.
