Assistant Director, MP-IDSA, Col. Rajeev Agarwal’s article ‘Ebrahim Raisi Wins Iran Presidential Election; Faces Credibility Test’ has been published in Bharat Shakti on June 19, 2021.
There are two amazing things about this election that clearly stand out. One is systemic, on how a totally confusing, contradictory and overlapping system is embedded in Iran’s constitution which elects/nominates its highest constitutional bodies. Second is more specific to this election, on how blatantly the election process was reduced to a farce in order for Raisi to win this election, writes Col. Agarwal.
