Iran's ex-president urges public input before conflict

Former Iranian President Hassan Rouhani emphasized the necessity of consulting the people before continuing any war with major powers. He affirmed that authority in Iran does not belong to God or the rulers themselves, but rather to the people through direct and indirect voting. Therefore, they must consult with citizens to decide whether to proceed with the conflict or to take a different course. He pointed out that, on a digital level, any position held in the country is a trust from the people, and that the populace has the right to choose ending the war if they are dissatisfied with it. This highlights the importance of public participation in making sensitive political decisions. Rouhani also underscored the importance of negotiating with the United States, indicating that the decision for war or peace should be made with popular consensus and approval, emphasizing that no force surpasses the will of the people.
