TEHRAN – A popular group has been formed to support Ebrahim Raisi in his bid for the presidential post, Fars reported.

The group announced its formation in a statement on Saturday. It came into existence due to “extensive favor toward Raisi from all strata and ethnicities from across the Islamic country,” the statement read.

It added, “It is natural that the current circumstances are not befitting the Iranian nation, with much divergence from the primary slogans and goals of the revolution.”
