Iranian Presidential Election

Iran is holding a snap election to pick a new president following the death of President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash. The election has four remaining candidates, including hard-line conservatives and one reformist. The supreme leader holds the most power in Iran, and observers don't expect significant change from this election.
