Representative of the Supreme Leader in the IRGC: Accusing officials and invalidating an agreement approved by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is not an example of loyalty to the Supreme

The Supreme Leader's representative to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated in a statement to Guardsmen and Basij forces that accusing officials of betrayal — whom the leadership has introduced as well-intentioned and possessing good judgment — as well as invalidating or rejecting an agreement that the leadership has authorized, does not conform to the principles of velayat-e-mandi (guardianship-based loyalty). This message appears to be in response to criticisms that have been leveled against certain officials and existing political counterparts.

• The Supreme Leader's representative emphasized that accusing individuals of betrayal whom the leadership has explicitly described as well-intentioned is incompatible with velayat-e-mandi.
• According to the statement, invalidating or rejecting an agreement that the leadership itself has approved and authorized falls into the category of anti-velayat-e-mandi actions.
• The Supreme Leader's representative also mentioned the descriptor "diligent" for certain officials whom the leadership has introduced with this characteristic.
• The message implicitly emphasizes the necessity of respecting the leadership's decisions and assessments.
• The statement's content is structured around defining the principles of velayat-e-mandi and interpreting them based on the leadership's positioning.
• The lack of explicit clarification regarding the names and identities of the officials referenced in the statement makes its interpretation challenging.
• The statement relies solely on assertion without the presentation of practical or textual evidence.. Coverage difference: All six media outlets (Entekhab, Khabar Online, Entekhab Telegram, Akharin Khabar, Mashriq News, and Etemad newspaper) essentially covered identical content and messaging, and in all cases emphasized the statement's structure and text; minor differences exist only in length and highlighting of certain elements (such as adding the descriptor "diligent" in some versions), but no meaningful difference in perspective or narrative is evident among the outlets.
