The upcoming Iranian elections you haven’t heard about
As Iran is about to hold city council elections, conservatives are bracing themselves for a fierce competition with Reformists and moderates.
Candidates are gradually beginning to register to run in Iran’s upcoming city council elections, which are to be held concurrently with the May 19 presidential vote.
