Glad to see him elected. I know Khomenei is still very strong in the government, but people say that president has solid impact in election of next person to Khomenei's position once he is dead. And he is 85. So maybe there might be hope?

Wishing all the best to all iranians <3

Just finished reading the article. The ending is saddening :(

“We have no expectation that these elections will lead to a fundamental change in Iran’s path or greater respect for the human rights of citizens. As the candidates themselves have said, Iran’s policy is determined by the leader.”
