Top Cleric to President: Any Weakness Emboldens the Enemy

Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi has stressed the imperative of upholding the position of the Leader, preserving national solidarity and authority in the face of the enemy, tightening market controls, and seriously addressing the people's livelihood and social concerns—particularly the challenges facing the youth.

Cultural Affairs and Observance of Hijab in the Education System

Highlighting the significance of cultural issues, he remarked that the Islamic Republic, beyond its republican dimension, possesses an Islamic identity. "Cultural matters must therefore be prioritized, and issues such as hijab should be addressed from an early age within the education system."
