Iran, there are seven presidential candidates: all but two conservative

The Guardian Council has published the list of candidates admitted to the next presidential elections on June 18: they are 7 out of over 500 people who had registered, and they are all, except two, conservatives, a choice that seems to favor the already favorite. Ebrahim Raisi, head of the Iranian judiciary and big shot of the ultra-conservative establishment.
