Iran: the conservatives' boulevard in the next elections to maintain their hold. Some 61 million Iranians are called to the polls next Friday to elect the 290 deputies of the Iranian Parliament and the members of the Assembly of Experts.
The reformist and moderate camp, whose candidates were largely rejected, is divided between those who decided to boycott the vote and those who decide to participate. Most figures in the reform andmoderate camp were rejected in advance by the Council of Guardians of the Constitution, a body controlled by conservative clerics.
