Two candidates are left in the race, Saeed Jalili and Masoud Pezeshkian. What camps do they represent?
The election campaigns are all but done, the debates have concluded, and all that remains is the vote.
Saeed Jalili and Masoud Pezeshkian will compete in Friday’s run-off presidential election in Iran, after no candidate won more than 50 percent of the vote in the first round, held on June 28.
The winner will become Iran’s new president, following the death of the late President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash on May 19.
The run-off will be contested by Saeed Jalili and Masoud Pezeshkian.
Jalili is mostly known internationally for his role in handling the Iranian nuclear file between 2007 and 2012, when he was the country’s uncompromising chief nuclear negotiator.
