About this sermon
An election is underway in Iran to select a new president after the former president was killed in a plane crash. The contest is among 3 candidates, with only one reformist candidate vowing to seek friendly relations with the West. The voting comes amid massive tension in the Middle East over Israel's conflicts with Hamas and Hezbollah, both groups which are armed by Iran. Despite the election, the supreme leader still has final say on the matters of state. Senior Research Fellow at the Philos Project and an expert on Iran, Farhad Rezaei, joins to tell us more about the leading candidates and whether it is unusual for someone running for president of Iran to be in favor of better relations with the West. Rezaei shares more about the role of president of Iran and how important the position is given the power of Iran's supreme leader. Rezaei discusses what we can expect from the election itself and whether it will be a free and fair election. Rezaei explains how the situation is in Iran overall. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
