Preparations are underway in Iran for a significant national event as Iranians gear up to elect a new parliament and assembly of experts, responsible for selecting the country's supreme leader. This election holds particular importance amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East and an ongoing economic crisis within Iran.
The upcoming election marks the first since the tragic death of Masha Jina Amini in police custody in 2022, which sparked widespread protests demanding substantial political reforms. The current political climate in Iran is heavily influenced by the strained relations between the United States and Iran, with the prevailing sentiment favoring hardline factions over moderate forces.
