Iranian President calls supreme leader Khamenei cornerstone of national unity

Tehran, Nov 12 (UNI) Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, addressing the Parliament on Nov 11, said the country's unity and stability depend heavily on the security of supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, claiming that any attack on him during the June war with Israel could have potentially plunged Tehran into an internal socio-political crisis, far more dangerous than any external threat.
Making his remarks during a session review of the government's performance in its first year under the Seventh Development Plan, Pezeshkian described Khamenei as the cornerstone of Iran's political and ideological cohesion, telling lawmakers that the supreme leader was the very "pillar of the country's tent", reports Iranian media.
Adding that the country's resolve had been tested to its very peak during Tehran's 12-day war with Tel Aviv in June, he remarked that the greatest threat to the Islamic Republic was not military defeat by Israel or any third party, but rather the potential civil war that would unfold in wake of Khamenei's possible assassination.
