Six candidates have been approved to run in Iran's upcoming presidential election to replace the late President Ebrahim Raisi. The candidates include the parliament speaker, a heart surgeon who is the only reformist, and other hard-liners with close ties to the Supreme Leader. Potential unity candidates may emerge as the election approaches, despite authorities not aggressively urging public participation. Each candidate brings their own policies and backgrounds to the race, with the parliament speaker seen as a front-runner while the heart surgeon needs strong turnout to win.
