In 2013, the Front supported Saeed Jalili for president after Kamran Bagheri Lankarani's withdrawal,[11] and released electoral list for local elections in several cities, with a landslide victory in Mashhad City Council.[12]
The front declares that it stands against both “sedition” (2009 Iranian presidential election protests) and the “deviant current”. Rajanews website is its online mouthpiece.[1]
