Iranians headed to the polls Friday in a snap election after the sudden death of the former president Ebrahim Raisi.
What makes this election different is that a little-known reformist candidate, who is calling for closer relations with the West, actually has a chance at winning.
But that doesn’t mean the hardline Iranian regime is going anywhere. Redmond Shannon explains.

Most Iranians are sick of this show. That’s why they are reluctant to participate.

They showed the vote counts and someone ran calculations and showed how few had even participated from general population. They know none of the candidates can do shut without that supreme leader

And what's the problem with Pro Israel?

@jasper-z3b Күн бұрын

Actually, most Iranians are not islamists. The majority support Israel just as our father Cyrus did 2500 years ago. It's actually the 'West' that allowed the Ayatollahs to occupy Persia. I don't blame all Westerners, but that is what happened. The Shah also made a mistake, he could have dealt with them accordingly. Prior to the islamist Ayatollah occupation, Iran and Israel were good friends in the 1950s and 60s.
