🇮🇷 A post in Arabic on the "x" social platform by Saeed Jalili, former presidential candidate and member of Iran's Efficiency Council.
Mr. Jalili was a soldier with the Basij volunteers of the Sepah (Revolutionary Guards) in the Iran-Iraq war, and lost part of his right leg during the siege of Basra. This earned him the nickname "The Living Dead" among his supporters.
He holds a PhD in political science, and taught "The Diplomacy of the Prophet" at Imam Sadiq University.
In 2009, Jalili was named one of the 500 most influential people in the Muslim world.
Majles Speaker Bagher Khalibaf ran for president knowing his bloc could not win, but he took enough votes from Jalili to force a run, then encouraged his camp to vote for incumbent Masoud Pazhakian. Galibuff also used his enormous influence to force the investigative team into the fatal Racey helicopter crash to return a verdict of accidental.
