Former Iran Central Bank chief submits bid for president
He states that Iran’s future belongs to the youth who want dignity and welfare. Hemmati mentioned astronomical inflation, acute devaluation of the rial against foreign currencies and the persistence of the oppressive sanctions on Iran as factors hampering the country’s progress.
Iran will vote for a new president on June 28. The election was called after Raeisi lost his life along with Foreign Minister Hossein Amir- Abdollahian on May 19, when a helicopter carrying them crashed into a mountainous area in northwest Iran amid foggy conditions.
