Press TV | Ghanbar Naderi: The United States has started a meddling campaign in Iran�s upcoming parliamentary vote. The US behavior runs counter to international rules and norms, that�s according to Iranian students. They told Press TV�Iranians have never trusted American politicians or thought of Washington as a repository of moral virtue.

Campaigning for the 11th round of parliamentary elections is now well underway. Over 7,000 candidates have less than a week to campaign for one of the 290 parliamentary seats available to lawmakers in 208 constituencies across the country. The students stressed the need for a high turnout to disappoint the US.

US officials have criticized Iran�s election process as the nation prepares to vote on a new parliament. Many Iranian officials have publicly rejected the notion as baseless claims, arguing that a critical factor in US meddling is that President Trump is seeking re-election in November.

Nearly 58 million Iranians are eligible to vote in the February elections, 50.13% of whom are men and 49.87% are women. Election campaigns end at 8 a.m. local time on Feb. 20, precisely 24 hours before voting begins.
