Radio Farda is known for its critical stance towards the Iranian government.

Hardline conservatives: It is hoped that with the help of the valuable and constructive experiences of that esteemed official, soon in prisons, for security prisoners, spies, and those corrupting the earth, spiritual and human-building sessions titled 'Are you on the position of existence or should we kill you?' will be held, and with their help and this wise action, the prisons of the country will also have a little more space opened for the remaining deserving individuals.

Conservatives in the market (Motalefeh and surrounding areas): While congratulating on this appropriate and deserving appointment, we request that the esteemed official arrest and eliminate the economic seditionists and others who disrupt the businesses of true revolutionaries, guiding the revolution back to the 1980s and the golden era of that departed Imam.

Progressive conservatives: These days, some enemies posing as friends and friends posing as enemies remind us of the so-called executions of 1988 and God forbid, any involvement of Mr. Raisi in them. Since a lot of time has passed since the 1980s and history cannot be retroactive, we suggest that all segments of the nation forget the 1980s altogether and from now on pretend that the system has only stepped into the realm of emergence since the 1990s. We ourselves have accomplished this with a little adjustment in our settings, and everything has improved so much after this change that it is hard to describe.

Some reformists: While condemning some actions of certain individuals, ignoring some statements of others, participating in some elections, and making some symbolic and layered criticisms, we have a confident hope that considering Mr. Raisi has been in the judiciary for 30-40 years, he should know who to keep where.

Reformists in the parliament (Aref and friends): There is a pleasure in silence that is not even present in participating in elections.

The government of evaporated hopes: Although Mr. Raisi was a rival of ours in 2017 and was among the factors of the 1988 executions and far from justice, according to the noble verse 'If you repent a hundred times, return,' it seems he has transformed significantly in less than two years, and why not?

In this context, letters of thanks from Bashar al-Assad to the Supreme Leader, unpublished excerpts from Ayatollah Khomeini's will, Rafsanjani's writings in purgatory; the fortieth anniversary of the revolution in that world, Rafsanjani's writings in purgatory; buying the bridge of Sirat, Tomorrow Station with Farshid Manafi, Paradox with Kambez Hosseini, and Tohij al-Masael with Jalal Saidi.
