Former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami speaking in the Tehran University Islamic Association said the Islamic Republic system has suffered “deviations” which need to be rectified on the basis of “religious and revolutionary principles.”
Mr. Khatami lamented that many regard these “deviations” to be “part and parcel of the regime.”
According to the reformist leader, reformists support a movement that is within the framework of “Islam, the regime and the Revolution” and that takes on the role of “critiquing the establishment.”
