[Iranians are voting to elect a new president,
with all but one of the four candidates regarded as hardliners. Opinion polls suggest Ebrahim Raisi, a conservative Shia cleric who heads the judiciary, is the clear favourite. Mr Raisi is an ally of Iran's supreme leader and has been touted as a future possible successor. Dissidents and some reformists have called for a boycott, saying the barring of several contenders left Mr Raisi with no serious competition. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei cast his vote early on Friday morning in Tehran and encouraged people to go the polls.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-57510763 More Corruption Last edited by arista; 19-06-2021 at 07:51 PM. |

Considering the horrific Human Rights abuses that are the norm in Iran, I don't suppose anyone is really surprised they might rig an election.
