Abstract

The article discusses the upcoming elections in Iran and highlights five key questions that foreign policymakers and observers should consider. The first question is about voter turnout, which has been historically low and may be influenced by recent protests and candidate disqualifications. The second question focuses on the selection of the Majlis Speaker, a position that holds significance in Iranian politics. The third question examines where the reformist vote may go, considering that many reformist candidates have been disqualified. The fourth question explores how the election results may shape the succession of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Lastly, the article discusses how outsiders, particularly the international community, may react to the election results and the potential implications for Iran's future.
