Iran Candidate Mohsen Rezaee Says He Will Put Fellow Candidate Hemmati on Trial if Elected

Iranian channel 1 aired a heated presidential debate on June 5, 2021. Presidential candidate Abdolnasser Hemmati, who was the former governor of Iran’s Central Bank accused Secretary of the Expediency Council, former IRGC commander-in-chief and presidential candidate Mohsen Rezaee of preventing Iran from accepting the FATF, which “delivered a knockout” to Iran’s economy.

He added that Rezaee’s threat of taking American hostages in order to increase foreign currency flow into the country never materialized. Rezaee responded that as a military man, his response to American threats is to take hostages, and what would Hemmati want him to do, kill the hostages and gain nothing? Rezaee continued to accuse Hemmati of collaborating with U.S. sanctions while he was at the Central Bank. He added that if he is elected president, the first thing he would do is to place Hemmati and other members of Rouhani’s administration on trial, where he would prove that the “treacherous hands” of Hemmati “hurt the Iranian people so much.”

Hemmati responded to this by saying that if he were to become president, the first thing he would do, would be to complain to another presidential hopeful, head of the Judiciary, Raisi, about Rezaee for disrupting Iranian economy. He further added that there have been accusations against Rezaee for misconduct during the Iran-Iraq war. Another candidate, Mohsen Mehralizadeh, a former Iranian Vice President, asked in the debate how Raisi – who only completed six years of elementary school – could run the economy, with only a religious education.

Alireza Zakani, a member of the Majles said that Hemmati claims to be an economist, yet he managed to wipe out Iran’s currency. Ebrahim Raisi, head of the Judiciary, also spoke about the inflation in Iran
