In a meeting with administration officials, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei expressed support for the government’s efforts this past year.

Speaking Aug. 30, Khamenei said that that the biggest achievement of the Raisi administration’s first year in office has been “awakening hope and trust within the people.” Khamenei said that people can see this administration is “busy working to solve problems and providing services” to the people. He added that these efforts have led to “public trust and hope.” Khamenei also conceded that while some of the Raisi administration’s efforts have come to fruition, there are areas that have not “yet reached a desirable result.”
