State Department slams 'pre-manufactured' Iranian election after hard-liner becomes president
Fox News
The State Department on Monday slammed what it described as a "pre-manufactured" Iranian election days after a hard-liner tied to mass executions was elected president amid accusations of rigging and calls for boycotts.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s Guardian Council had disqualified a number of candidates who could have competed with Raisi, including several moderate and reform candidates – causing even hard-liners such as former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to join calls for a boycott. State Department spokesman Ned Price on Monday said the U.S. considered the process in which Raisi was chosen to be "pre-manufactured."More Related News
