1. Hopefuls are wise for their own health's
sake to stay in the shadows.So the supreme leader appoints religious conservatives who control an unelected body,the Guardians Council,who screen the candidates.
Why go to all this bother, why not let the supreme leader appoint the candidates?
Incidentally who appoints the supreme leader?
Perhaps Venezuela's new president
may be interested in how the fair and free elections are managed in Iran
