"Iran's Low Turnout Parliamentary Elections Amid Economic Concerns"
Iranians are voting in parliamentary and Assembly of Experts elections amid economic hardships and restrictions on political and social freedoms. The election is dominated by conservative and hardline figures, with few moderate or pro-reform candidates. The turnout is expected to be low due to frustration with economic woes and a lack of representation for people's grievances. The Assembly of Experts election is crucial as it may determine the future direction of Iran, especially in selecting a successor to the aging Supreme Leader.
