Iranian Special Presidential Elections 2024 (post shaheed Ebrahim Raisi)

[Persian Gulf]

I congratulate Iran and Iranians. I wish the very best for all of us.

I echo these sentiments

 

[Immortals]

Well there goes the already dying Iranian space program

And once again Iran is going to have a reformist to negotiate against a Republican President (Trump).

Neither side (reformist or conservative) can fix the economy issue. It isn’t as easy as waving a wand to jumpstart Iranian economy. There needs to be major anti-corruption drives including top brass, overhaul of contract law, tax code, large infrastructure spending bills, business friendly policies, and more free market dynamics.

It's no wonder that during the Obama administration.
With the threat of war rising like never before in the Middle East and the election of Trump in the U.S., I feel there is great risk in electing Pezeshkian as Iran's president.
Pezeshkian insists on negotiating with the West, but one wonders what kind of deal he intends to make.
Is he going to accede to the U.S. demand for total disarmament and suspension of aid to Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Palestine?

This is a spit in the face of Martyr Raisi and everything he had worked for for the last 3 years!!!

I feel there is great risk in electing Pezeshkian as Iran's president.

As soon as I heard he was running, I knew he was going to be President. Iran has a history of doing ‘good cop, bad cop’ presidents.

Pezeshkian insists on negotiating with the West, but one wonders what kind of deal he intends to make.

The nuclear file comes to Rahbar not the president of Iran. And no deal can be sided unless most major factions give their blessing. While it’s true Rahbar could go against the consensus of the factions and torpedo a possible deal or force it’s acceptance, history has shown he usually makes sure factions want a deal and then he ‘allows’ it. This is to hedge being blamed for the deal or lack thereof.

Basic Machiavellian politics

Is he going to accede to the U.S. demand for total disarmament and suspension of aid to Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Palestine?

He doesn’t have any power in negotiations. The red lines are set by National security council and Rahbar than the foreign ministry team for nuclear negotiations hammers it out.

President can do nothing more than voice his opinion behind closed doors amongst a sea of much more powerful voices (IRGC, Khomeini family and affiliated factions, Rafsanjani family And affiliates, Larijani family, etc etc etc)

He doesn't have any power to change such things

It reminds us of the lesson of history that no matter what people think of a president who is welcomed abroad, that president has never brought gospel to his country.
That is by no means only the case with Rouhani.
What happened to the Soviet Union and Russia with Gorbachev and Yeltsin, who were very popular with Westerners?
Conversely, what happened to the era of Vladimir Putin, who is still hated by the West?
Why did China become an incredibly powerful country under Xi Jinping, who is hated by the US, while Japan declined miserably under Shinzo Abe, who is welcomed with open arms by the US?
Turkey's military government, welcomed by the West, failed to modernize, but under Erdogan, heavily criticized as an Islamic fundamentalist, Turkey grew remarkably and became a major power.
These are simply lessons of history without subjectivity.

I am curious about Iranian politics. There is a strong element of the people getting to elect their presidents so despite all the demonising the west does on Iran to me it does come across democratic, a democratic theocracy. although my understanding is the last say is with ayatollah khamenei. However if I look at the UK, the king has the final say as well as heads of state to ok the appointments.

 

[Tehrani021]

he just won election and some of you guys already decided he is a sell out ... crazy

After c. 96% of votes counted:

16.2 million Pezeshkian (55%)
13.4 million Jalili (45%)

His party are a party of proven sell outs and failures. So if it quacks like a duck and all that. But we will give him a chance, but with a good dose of reservation and understandable apprehension. Now is not the time for naivety.

I would not call anything ‘democratic’ as good. ‘Democracy’ —hmmm…what’s that? Where’s it practiced? —- it’s Iawful even under the uneducated public definition.

So given you’re unable to define ‘democracy’ or point out where it is practiced, you may want to hone your question.

Once again people turned back.....

I hope the second Bani Sadr cannot last for more than one year!

Second banisadr , then let tell you who are jalili and it's circle . Rasai the staunch jalili supporter once called martyr sulleymani as abu Musa ash'ari

Jalili is the guy that because of his personal grudge against roohani made Iran loss around 300 milliard because he said. He don't want rohani joi. Fatf but he has no problem if any other one join it

And this is an interesting voice

People spoke
Some guys from stability ring can burn. They are nothing but enemy infiltration agent

 

[Hack-Hook]

This is the only choice for anyone that voted for Jalili

Only time will tell us if man cares about Iran and its geopolitic stance or a complete sellout licking western boots making terrible inflation rate thinking the west will solve all problems of Iran. Actions and not words

The good news is that more than 50% voted, this is enough to keep propaganda of "no one is voting" at bay

You send jalili or anyone from stability ring (the tend to call themselves front but don't get fooled on that) and it's guaranteed that people vote to stop them

 

[Hack-Hook]

We people of Iran fought so we can live in our country , breath in our country and nobody dare to say if you don't like it leave this land.
