Article 9: In the Islamic Republic of Iran, freedom, independence, unity, and territorial integrity of the nation are inseparable from one another; the safeguarding of these is the responsibility of the government and each and every one in the nation. No individual, group, or authority has the right to damage, in the slightest way, the political, cultural, economic, and military independence of Iran and its territorial integrity, in the name of exercising freedom. And no authority is allowed to take away the legitimate freedoms, even through the establishment of laws and regulations, under the pretext of safeguarding the independence and sovereignty of the nation.
