In the second live debate on state television, six presidential candidates in Iran engaged in a discussion about the country's economic challenges ahead of the upcoming June 28 election. This debate follows the tragic helicopter crash last month that claimed the life of President Ebrahim Raisi and seven others.
The debate, which was the second of five planned before the election, focused on Iran's struggling economy, which is grappling with sanctions imposed by the United States and other Western nations. The candidates deliberated on topics such as inflation, the budget deficit, fuel consumption subsidies, and education. While all candidates pledged to work towards lifting sanctions and implementing reforms, specific details were not provided.
