TEHRAN – Expediency Council secretary Mohsen Rezaei has called on the Iranian nation to choose a government of “resistance” in order to end current and future sanctions.

“The [nuclear] negotiations failed to end all sanctions. Inaction and weakness would lead to more sanctions,” said Rezaei tweeted.

“So, by choosing a government of resistance, we should reject the sanctions,” he added.

Iranians will vote to elect their next president on May 19.
