Iran has controversially approved the list of hardline candidates for the upcoming presidential election. This decision comes at a time when the country is facing multiple economic and social crises, and it seems these candidates are trying to attract the society with nationalist and hardline slogans.
Challenges Facing the Candidates
Despite the fact that these candidates have been selected based on strict and principled approaches, many analysts believe that such an approach may lead to increased tensions and public dissatisfaction. It is expected that the hardline candidates will focus on confronting the West and emphasizing economic self-sufficiency in their programs.
Impact on Foreign Policy
This change in the list of candidates could also have significant implications for Iran's foreign policies. Given the recent statements from American officials, particularly JD Vance, who emphasized keeping oil and gasoline prices low for Americans, it seems that Iran must act cautiously in the face of international pressures.
Ultimately, the approval of this list indicates the regime's desire to continue strict policies both domestically and internationally. It appears that this election will be an opportunity for the hardliners to regain power and use it to advance their goals.
