"The Assembly of Justice-Seeking Students of Tehran University" sent a letter to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, inviting him to attend the university and explain his performance over the past 40 years of the Islamic Republic and the institutions under his supervision. According to an image of this letter published on various websites and on the Twitter account of Mahmoud Sadqi, a representative from Tehran, this group has asked Ayatollah Khamenei to clarify his stance on institutions under his authority, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), other armed forces, the judiciary, state media, and the Foundation of the Oppressed. The letter states that this invitation is an "opportunity" for Ayatollah Khamenei to provide an explanation and analysis regarding the performance of the Islamic Republic over the past 40 years, the quality of determining and supervising the execution of the regime's general policies, especially in institutions managed by the leadership, and addressing unusual conflicts and regulating the relationships between elected institutions, including the government and parliament. The invitation from student groups close to the conservatives for Ayatollah Khamenei to respond to the performance of the Islamic Republic and the institutions under his supervision is unprecedented. Throughout his leadership, Ayatollah Khamenei has never participated in Q&A sessions with journalists and has only expressed his views through state media or held selective meetings with a few individuals. Meanwhile, criticisms from some students regarding Ayatollah Khamenei's performance have previously made headlines, including in his June meeting with a group of student organizations. He has previously responded to written questions from students at some universities. The "Assembly of Justice-Seeking Students of Tehran University" is affiliated with student groups close to former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Additionally, in April, some members of this group and other students and clerics supporting Ahmadinejad sent an open letter to Ayatollah Khamenei demanding "fundamental and revolutionary reforms" in the Islamic Republic.
