Letting ONE reformist run seems like a mistake from the ayatollahs' perspective. They should have taken a note from Putin and led three reformers run, to split the vote.
Woulda still gone to a run off
This is a ploy. Let the reformist win to let off steam that has built up in the public. Then till the next election crackdown. And then have the hardliner get elected.
BTW how much "reform" do you think this guy can really implement
Doesn't matter because it will just go to run offs if no one gets 50% of the vote.
Putin did not allow any non-loyal candidates to the ballot, he got rid of them beforehand, so essentially there was nothing to split. Plus in Russia the election committee usually falsifies the results just coming up with a number that will satisfy the government anyway, so voting results don't show anything, and that's what iran can probably do as well if the ayatollah doesn't want to see a reformist as a president
We have no reformists in Iran and the idea of reform is pretty much dead! Besides, he is part of the status quo he means no harm to it.
"What reformist victory might mean for Iran and the world..."
Well, he's not a radical reformist, for one thing. And even if he were, the president is more of a figurehead in Iran. The power lies squarely with the supreme leader... So... Nothing much will change at all 🤷🏻♀️
nothing burger basically lol
Good, no one wants to bend over to the west
The president definitely still has some power they aren't just a figure head.
umm wrong, actually. the hijab law was liberalized in the 2000s thanks to the then-reformist president. so it's very possible for pezeshkian to liberalize the hijab law even more.
@@kevley26 He can't make policy. He can't go against the supreme leader... Oh yes, he can invite foreign countries... to talk. Issuing decrees, awarding medals, sends and receives foreign ambassadors... Wow, thats solid power right there 👍🏻🙄
4:25 Huh?
He never said such thing! He said he will stop “harsh treatment”
Hijab has been mandatory since 1980, it was made mandatory by the Ayatollah of Ayatollahs; *Khomeini*
No one in the regime would ever dare to question it, even Mousavi didn’t have the guts to do this, promising to repeal on the other hand is literally suicide.
The only reformist that dared to say such thing (still not on TV) is Mostafa Tajzadeh,he’s in jail now…

Raisi's death wasn't mysterious, it was just unexpected. Lacking any evidence contrary to the official explanation, it's the simplest to accept. Plane trouble can happen to anyone in a storm. You could blame the US for sanctions that made it difficult to properly service the plane, but identifying anyone who would benefit from Raisi's death would be pretty tenuous.
Wasn't it a helicopter flying in mountains through fog? Helicopters being the pinnacle of mankind's arrogance of against nature.
Yes. Also the weather in that region can be very stormy and dangerous
I don't trust supreme leader at all. But the crash was an accident. Now, the one in Russia for pregosuin was sabotage. But this was accident
Thats not true it's insane to not have a transponder on board and to use 50 year old helicopters. He also was not popular with komani
At the same time, saboteur from maintenance could also be involved too...
Yes, and people are saying US causing problems.
I call this crash; a saboteur murder.
Okay today I learnt that Iran was FAR more democratic than I initially thought
Still not at all democratic, but just more than I thought 😂

@@rizkyadiyanto7922 1:51 timelines were mispoken. 2017 and then 2021 was not Rouhani but obviously Raeisi who was still acting president when his helicopter crashed a month ago.
4:09 Khomeini is the founder of the Islamic republic, the current supreme leader is Khamenei instead.
Anyways, the general idea was passed to the foreign audience pretty well.
@@alirezafarokhiyan4545 are you an armenian ethnic?

Mysterious death? How? Helicopter downed in heavy fog
Mysterious as in, how the hell he is just now died
There were two escort helicopters, none went for help and it took 24 hours to find the crash site despite two helicopters knowing exactly where the middle one crashed.
Also the Supreme Leader did not pretend to cry and didn’t touch the coffin of Raisi, which he always used to do…
Homelander did it
Very interesting, thanks for covering this
I know a lot of people joked "oh... it's only the president" when the helicopter crashed since the supreme leader is the real power, but keep in mind the Ebrahim Raisi was considered the probable heir to Ali Khamenei and that option is now off the table. So it does matter in the long run.
Not really, if anything it grantees that Mojtaba Khamenei the son of the Supreme Leader will be the next next supreme leader, because the only two people were Raisi and Khamenei's son.
@@shawnrocki Mjotaba Khamenei was considered a possibility, but Raisi was considered the favorite for awhile. It's not just what the West thought of Iran, most Iranians thought Raisi was the probable heir too.
@@alex_zetsu That's one way to look at it, but another perspective is that every "president" since the regime took over has lost all of their credibility even someone like Khatami. Every president spoke against Khamenei after their term was over. They all said the same thing which was that the supreme leader has the final say and they couldn't do anything or make real change. Every president was viewed as incompetent and lost support.
In 2021 Khamenei cleared the path for Raisi to be president which was very obvious to everyone even before the election in 2021. Khamenei knew that regime supporters and so called reformists will blame Raisi for everything, and a huge campaign started against Raisi to make him look like an uneducated idiot that can't even speak properly (which wasn't hard to do).
Raisi was also removed from Isfahan's religious council. From the very beginning it was clear that Raisi will be blamed for decisions Khamenei makes. The only difference between Raisi and all other presidents was that Raisi couldn't speak out even after his presidency, because if he spoke out against Khamenei it would remove any changes of him becoming the next supreme leader.
If Raisi didn't become president, he wouldn't have lost his credibility within the religious councils or the population.
Thus because very obvious when the "Osolgara" or the hardliners started to indirectly amplify criticisms against Raisi instead of ignoring it, by having weak responses to against Raisi's criticisms on social media, and specifically IRGC telegram channels.
@@alex_zetsu Also in addition to my last reply. I believe Jalili is Mojtaba Khamenei, given how close they are and how close he is to Khamenei, and Jalili's loyalty toojtaba. However, this way Jalili takes the blame till Khamenei dies. Given that all presidents in Iran have served 8 years, and the fact that Khamenei's doctors audio regarding Khamenei's health have leaked, and how his given so much drugs and meds just for when he gives a speech. Jalili aka Mojtaba would make sure Mojtaba is the successor. Which is why Ghalibaf aka IRGC could not take presidents, because of Ghalibaf because president IRGC would've had total control on the day that Khamenei dies, which would've flipped the power to IRGC.
@@shawnrockithe problem with his son is his age as i remember and also the fact that the ayatollah came to power after overthrowing the mornachy so electing his son might weaken more their regime since theyre follwoing the same steps of the mornachy
Spot on commentary 👍
This video is exceptionally good.
0:06 He was flying in an old helicopter, in the middle of low-visibility mist, in a mountain range and without tracking devices due to the age of the vehicles Iran uses. The only mystery is how the other two got back safely as well.

very well observed and explained

For context, US election between Hillary and Trump doesn't even attract 50% participation rate
"doesn't"? It was 8 years ago mate.
@@mralireza931 *didn't
Dude the number that regime shows is lie, the actual tern out was about 13 present
The real turnout in this presidential election was 13.3%. The dictator simply tripled the turnout numbers just to reduce the embarrassment. For context, when they published the number of votes four candidates and the invalid votes, all five numbers were a multiple of 3. Mathematically, there's 0.04% chance that 5 independent numbers are all a multiple of 3. They cheated so hastily in panic that they made a rookie mistake. Now this is becoming a running joke by Iranians. They call it X3 Presidency :)
To be fair, authoritarian countries like to bump up their official numbers to not look as bad in the end
The other conservative candidates votes will consolidate and give Jalili the win. I'm calling it
It still doesn't matter. Either candidate has to tow Khamanei's line. Even if the 'reformist' wins, he'll be nothing but a lame attempt to portray rebranding and democracy both domestically and internationally.
1:51 2017, not 2021. 2021 was Raisi.
@@planetomega38 This dude misspoke a few times.
The regime seems to have lost a lot of stability in recent years with the protests and the Supreme Leader's increasingly poor health. A reformist could be another nail in the coffin.

This is the reason why Westerners have such a hard time understanding any country east of Turkey. The candidates CAN'T RUN WITHOUT AYATOLLAHS' APPROVAL. Elections are basically selecting from few predetermined candidates.
Ayatollah is dead bro?
I’m always amazed with what ease some people speak of what ‘Westerners’ ‘have a hard time understanding’, when those same people would explode in - fully justified - anger if anyone said: “This is why Asians can’t really grasp European politics”.
I’m sick and tired of this ‘Westerner’ nonsense, as if the life and political experience from Bulgaria to Liechtenstein to the US were all identical.
@@fesyuki-kun2332Ayatollah is a title, not a name.
@@fesyuki-kun2332 He is not. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is very much alive and is very much the actual power broker in Iranian politics.
Not all that different than it is in America, where candidates can run only with the support of the Republican and Democratic parties. Of course, there are some other, smaller parties, who can also put their candidates in the race, but the electoral system punishes anyone who votes for them.
Just for you know, all of those turnouts are only "official' turnouts. De-facto, they are much lower. Sometimes even by half.

Learning about the politics of countries around the world is so interesting
I think this is great, honestly. I hoped for low turnout, but mainly because I had no expectation of a reformist winning. Pezeshkian does not have any realistic chance of changing Iran's political direction if he is elected, but that will only further tension with the regime. If he pushes for reforms, he may fall out of favour with the regime and be punished, leading to outrage amongst the Iranian public. If he is successfully leashed by the regime from the get go, that will also outrage the public who will be given a clear signal that reform through elections is impossible.

Pezeshkian is a puppet of the regime. Most 'reformists' are. It's as good as the 'other parties' in China and Russia. If anything, he'll merely be a farce to pretend that the regime may slowly effect change while it does nothing but continue to consolidate more power within and without its borders. People believed in Khatami and the 'reformists' at least a decade ago but have now more or less realized the farce. So this is a lame attempt and further shows how out of touch with the public these mullahs and their generals are.
We need a mega video at the end of this year summarizing all elections that took place and will take place this year…too many elections in 2024
Thanks for great content
just a comment on the pronounciation
"Khomeini" (pronounced Koh-May-nih) was the former supreme leader
the current supreme leader name is "Khamene-ei" (pronounced as Ka-meh-neh-E)
they oddly sound similar but they're not related
I'd say the E at the end for Khamanei could be made softer
Thanks! I know they are written differently, but I never knew how to pronounce them and not mix them up.

If the reformists get elected, the nuclear deal might be a good idea. Not because Iran would stick to it, but because it would be a major victory to a more favorable camp.
of curse Iran is dictatorships by allowing reformist and pro west candidates to run and has the honor to not rigg the election but US that only Zionist di*k kissers are allowed to run who debate about who is the most loyal to Israel is the democracy .
Iran is the bad guy of story event though they never attacked any country and consistently picked honor over profit despite high prices for doing so like facing sanction for standing with south African liberation (Nelson Mandela) because it was designated terrorist by west, facing sanction for sending IRGC elite force to defend Bosnia during genocide because for some reason it was under arm embargo,
and being the only one that stand for Christian Armenia against fellow Muslim Azerbaijan when their own fellow Christian abandoned them and standing for Arab Palestinian despite the fact that Arabs hate Persians
US/Israel/West that attacked anyone that want to be independent, and it was on the wrong side of history in above mentioned cases until very last second just like today they are for genocides but somehow they are the good guys
this is clown world
last time it was west that as always had no honor and pocketed what Iran agreed to and throw Iran under the bus
so, what is this supposed to mean "Not because Iran would stick to it,"

Darn, Iran might finally want back to the nuclear deal and fix its relationship with the West, but the US is about to have that orange back...
Don't be hopeful. Even if biden is elected, the ayatollah and 90 percent of the Parliament are all fanatics. The idea of a Reform is just a delusion at this point
And now you consider Iran a democracy ?

It means nothing
As an Iranian i dont vote. I just want regime change... Our revolution is still current #women_life_freedom

You will need to gather up strength. The IRGC is an entire army dedicated solely for your oppression.

Why are you insulting mahsa amini cousin and his komoleh bodies?
I really do hope the best for them. I hope they get the freedoms they want and the US will end the saxtions so they can have the standard of life they deserve. It sucks when good people are harmed by things their governments do.
No.
Let's hope the common sense candidate will win
Honestly don't know if having the token reformist candidate win is a good thing for the Iranian people or not?
Surely the sheer about of civil disobedience, riots and out right revolt seen in recent Years coupled with a peace protest in not participating in what is clearly a phoney election could like to more radical measure such as a revolution to kill off the weird old religious supreme leader dictator guy in charge and create some kind of real democracy within the county better than having people believe their vote holds any weight whatsoever?
I mean granted most revolutions don't exactly end in democracy anyway (as seen by Irans complete lack of one today despite having previous revolts etc.) but does allowing people to essentially live under theocratic doctoral rule with no hope of getting more freedom beyond token gestures like letting women not wear a headscarf do anything to actually help the people living there? Let me know if I am Wrong in the comments because I genuinely would like to know what is the most efficient way to have a democracy
Will Iran ever have a female President or Supreme Ayatollah?
👍👍
Unrelated but did y’all see that flag behind Jalili on 5:57 ? Worse than his proposed policies.
That's the Iranian flag dawg
it's the crab flag of the islamic republic
worse than the boring tricolor of europe?
not he/him anymore??😆
It still has a system. Iran is an illeberal democracy and there are vying factions under the umbrella of the constitution and the irgc that seems to have become the real power behind the scenes, like big corps in America.
The Iranians systems is to be quite frank, the spitten image of the US system, just a but more authoritarian cause liberalism is not their thing.
There's quite a few people in the regime who want to focus on Iran becoming a better place and let's be real human rights are a privilege countries that want to challenge the west and are still developing just can't afford, even then they have their own vision of human rights. The whole discussion in Iran are mainly 2 things: "more transparency of the government and less corruption, and not wasting huge amounts of resources to maintain unnecessary dogma. Theocracy can have a symbolic role but it is becoming less important and pragmatism and the chinese model seem to be the future.
I want you all to know that ni matter whi wins Iran will always stay on the side of the East, just as no matter who wins European elections the countries stay the suckers of the US geopolitics is not dictated by people and will never be.
Frankly the only country where geopolitics is even partly up to debate is Iran😂.
Quite an interesting place and still an interesting system. It is still a rules based society with a degree of separation of powers and enough authoritarianism to hold the country together in hard times such as these. Despite all the bs the regime pulled, Iran is more advanced than most countries in the Region except for Turkey and Israel. The gulf states don't count they are just parodies of the 21st century
0:15 it's not 'July 5th' in British English. It's the '5th of July'. The Americans' M-D-Y system is stupid, anyway. Don't follow it.
Nothing changes.
its not the mistyrious death of ibrahim raisi, its the israeli assasination of raisi, or maybe even the US who did it for israel, but the matter of the fact is, that israel did it 100%, so it was not an accident, but an assasination
Is israel in the room with us right now?
He also has an armenian surname
He’s Azerbaijani Turkish however.
