And one candidate in particular is leading: Ebrahim Raisi, the current judiciary chief, appointed by Mr. Khamenei, who has a long history of involvement in human rights abuses, and who lost in 2017 in a surprise victory by the outgoing president, Hassan Rouhani.

With no credible challenger, Mr. Raisi is expected to win this time. Any serious competition has been winnowed from the race. Even some members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, known for their strong hostility to any political dissent, described the election as anti-democratic.

But i thought Biden presidency will liberalize Iran. What a bunch of idiots the iranian apologists are.

Not idiots...fellow travelers.They share a burning hatred for Israel with the mullahs.

[Truth29]

Now this sounds like someone with whom the Biden team and judiciary can work. They share a hatred of Israel and the Jews.

I was just sure there would be a new peaceful raghead leader who would stop being a professional terrorist.

Hollyweird is chomping at the bit for this market to finally re-open to Western movies and TV shows (legitimate, as opposed to pirated). Silver lining is they’ll start self-censoring LGBTQXYZ agitprop to appease the mullahs just like they self-censor anything that could be remotely seen as anti-China.
