Iran's Presidential Election Will Render A Weaker Regime
The so-called presidential “election” that is scheduled for May 19th
in Iran is in far contrast to what is witnessed in today’s democratic
countries. Polls in Iran under the mullahs’ regime are neither free nor
fair, and the upcoming presidential election will weaken the regime in its entirety to an unprecedented scale.
What Tehran considers a constitution prevents any possible election based on internationally recognized standards. Candidates must prove their utter loyalty to the mullahs’ regime and the Supreme Leader. As a result, the word “opposition” has no meaning in Iranian politics. As a result any assertion of “moderates” facing off against “hardliners” in Iran is completely misleading. This is a regime of various factions, not different political parties.
