Iran Debate Puts Problems on One Man: the Outgoing President
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] Iran's seven presidential candidates on Tuesday put all the problems of the country squarely on the shoulders of the one man who wasn't there to defend himself: Outgoing President Hassan Rouhani...Iran's moderatepresident, which he is, relative to his predecessor, which doesn't mean he's anything but a puppet of the nearest holy man... After a raucous first debate, the aspirants on a televised debate focused their attention on Rouhani and mocked his administration's "hope" campaign that surrounded its now-tattered 2015 nuclear deal with world powers. That allowed candidates to link former Central Bank chief Abdolnasser Hemmati to Rouhani while allowing hardline judiciary chief Ebrahim Raisi, believed to be the race's front-runner, to largely escape criticism.
