The conspiracy to rid Iran of its Sunni presence started the day the then President Ali Khamenei addressed a secret conference in Tehran, saying: “We have adopted programs to remove the Ahlus Sunnah from Iran withing fifty years.” This resolution was approved and supported by the Prime Minister, the Speaker of the Majlis, the Chief Justice and other high dignitaries of state. The matter was discovered through secret channels by some brothers from Kurdistan.
Another brother says: “I went to Khomeini’s representative in Mashhad, the capital of Khorasan. He asked me about the condition of certain Sunni-populated areas in that province, not knowing whether I was a Sunni or a Shi’i. I told him that there was a lot of pressure and injustice from the Revolutionary Guard and other government organisations and that the Sunni people were complaining about them. He responded by saying, ‘We do not want to hasten in implementing our plans to change the school of the Ahlus Sunnah and turn them into Shia. We decided to remove Sunnism over a period of fifty years. But these organisations get too impatient at times. This is not our way as we understood it from the highest levels of government.’”
