The “supreme leader” Khamenei told the people that they should elect an “anti-western” president. "This is one of the criteria," Khamenei said. "Americans have started absurdly saying who should run and who should not run in our election." The reason for Khameneis stupid comment was the US criticism of the Guardian Councils decision to ban reform candidates in the upcoming elections.
Condoleezza Rice was one of the few western politicians whom criticized the regime in Teheran, saying that the US would "stand by the Iranian people" in the fight for democracy. Rice also said; "The Middle East is changing and even the unelected leaders in Tehran must recognise this fact".
Khamenei replied by saying that Rice is ignorant and that the Iranian people should do the opposite of what the US say.
