Quick #Iran Elections thought: 9 months before the ballots, newspapers are filled with an increasing number of IRGC-related hardliners who may run (e.g. Ghalibaf, Dehghan, Ghasemi, Fattah etc.). Yet so far no strong candidate on the other side of the political map has emerged

Indeed #Iran’s pendulum politics seem to shift to the hardline side. Traditional conservatives & reformists will have hard choices to take if they want to counter this trend. They would prob have to reach a compromise/ZOPA candidate if they want to win elections

According to many, former Majles Speaker Ali #Larijani is an option. While his family’s power diminished over the last years (his brothers were removed from their positions), I wouldn’t disregard him. Remember that #Rouhani won elections after a decade in political wilderness

The #Iranian regime is showing support for Foreign Minister #Zarif after his designation.
A delegation of Majles reps headed by Speaker Larijani visited him today. #Larijani: “Don’t get tired. Thank you for your hard work and your endurance under difficult circumstances”

A good day for #Zarif, who is used to being criticized by the Majles for his positions and actions.
One of the #Majles members even declared that “the country’s top diplomat is the Foreign Minister” #Iran
