With only more than two months to go before the Iranian election, the open and secret struggle within Iran is becoming more and more obvious. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Ali and former Rouhani and othersPoliticsPersonalities spoke out and debated the issue of the election. This election is forIranian politicsThe pattern is crucial, and it involves the rights and interests of the people and the stability of the country. This article will delve into the internal contradictions of Iran, pay particular attention to the rising pressure on Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Ali Khamenei, and analyze the impact of the election on Iran's future.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Ali Khamenei's call for strong participation in the elections has been widely discussed. He stressed that elections were the way to solve the country's problems and to prevent chaos and instability in the country. However, some voices in Iran have repeatedly called for people not to participate in the elections, creating an atmosphere of pessimism. In response, Khamenei expressed his dissatisfaction with these people and hoped that people would solve the problem through elections.
However, former Rouhani has questioned Khamenei's views. He said that sometimes not voting is also a form of voting, and by not voting, people can indirectly express their dissatisfaction with a candidate. And, he stressed, in the absence of a suitable candidate, it is difficult to encourage people to go to the polls. This view has sparked a discussion about the legitimacy of elections and the diversity of candidates.
Rouhani's speech sparked a big reaction. In his speech, he alluded to the Supreme Leader's inaccuracies and indirectly accused the hardliners of controlling the elections. At the same time, he referred to next year's elections to the Council of Experts, which will be important for overseeing the work of the leaders and electing a new Supreme Leader. In view of Khamenei's health problems, the election of the Meeting of Experts is considered to be of the utmost importance.
In the internal struggle in Iran, there is a fierce competition between the hardliners and the moderates. Hardliners currently have the upper hand, with more influence in Parliament and the Guardian Council of the Constitution. They want to maintain the status quo and are reluctant to change. Therefore, they want the turnout to remain low to ensure control of parliament.
The moderates, on the other hand, hope to change the status quo by increasing turnout and increase the presence of moderate forces. They called on the public to run in high demand to break the hardliners' plans. However, many potential candidates were disqualified from running due to the existence of the Guardian Council of the Constitution, which also led to a feeling of apathy and pessimism among voters about the elections.
The current Iran** can be said to be an undercurrent. Although Raisi stabilized the situation in the country through last year's "hijab incident", he did not achieve significant results in resolving domestic problems. The moderates hope to reverse their own decline through next year's two elections and prepare for 2025. At the same time, the partnership between the hardliners and the ultra-hardliners has also raised concerns, and they may attack the top position in the future.
Turnout in Iran has continued to decline in the past few elections, mainly because of the existence of the Guardian Council of the Constitution. The committee is composed of six lawyers and six clergy, six of whom are elected by the Parliament and six of whom are elected by the Supreme Leader. The task of the committee is to review the qualifications of candidates and decide who can run for election. Considering that the Iranian parliament is currently controlled by hardliners, the hardliners maintain their position by controlling the candidacy through this council.
Hashemi claimed that the Guardian Council of the Constitution should take steps to ensure that the elections are dynamic and that the diversity of candidates is guaranteed. This can be seen as a criticism of the hardliners and the Supreme Leader, as the committee's decisions are largely controlled by them. Hashemi hopes to use this to shake the position of the hardliners and provide more opportunities for the moderates.
Internal contradictions in Iran** are gradually coming to the fore, especially in the run-up to the upcoming elections. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Ali and former Rouhani and othersPoliticsThe characters' views and actions collide with each other, representing an intensifying rivalry between the two forces, the hardliners and the moderates. Elections for the futureIranian politicsThe pattern is of great significance and could have a significant impact on the composition of parliaments and expert meetings, and may even change the face of Iran's future leaders. The decline in turnout and the existence of the Guardian Council of the Constitution are the main challenges facing the elections, and the struggle between hardliners and moderates on this issue also shows the complexity of Iran and the complexity of the game.
