Iranians set to vote for president amid turnout concerns
After preparing everything to guarantee a victory for its preferred candidate, the ruling establishment is now attempting to draw the largely apathetic electorate to the ballot box.
Iran's hard-line leadership has in the past few days gone to great lengths to push the public toward the ballot box in Friday's presidential election to decide the "fate" of the country at "this critical juncture."
The competition, however, is seen as nothing short of an "engineered" race meant to guarantee a landslide for Ebrahim Raisi, the judiciary chief close to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
