Tehran, YJC. 600 student’s Basij officials have in a letter warned president Rouhani that “no one has ever gained anything from relations with the US.”

Some hundred members of the student’s Basij have signed a letter to Hassan Rouhani asking the president to stop some of his salient policies in foreign and domestic affairs.

The signatory have demanded that the president ignore easing international relations as a perceived means to help the country’s troubled economy.

"We know of no country which might have gained anything other than disability and dependency from trust in the US,” their letter reads.

They have instead insisted that the government should pay more attention to the realization of domestic potentials, expressing discontent for the government’s current approach to resistance economy whose implementation was recommended to the president by the Supreme Leader in the form of a comprehensive plan sheet.
The letter’s signatory have also found fault with governmental appointments, stating that some newly instated officials in the administrative body have played key roles in contribution to the country’s 2009 disturbances.

They have expressed worries that "seditionists” might get back to power "under the name of moderation”, policy emphasized by Rouhani to bring together various tastes.

These Basij officials have also demanded that the president take action against "secular tolerance” over arts and the press.
