Iranians vote in presidential election marred by disqualification row​

The favorite is hardliner A. Ebrahim Raisi, which means it's almost guaranteed he'll win.

Iran's Ebrahim Raisi: The hardline cleric set to become president​

With hardline judge Ebrahim Raisi in charge, I think the nuclear deal is dead. Iran's interest to renew it will probably be low due to a hardline government taking over. Doesn't mean they will get nukes, they have been one year away from the nuke the last 30 years after all. A very long year.

Yeah, as I stated above I don't have high hopes for the nuclear deal to return with President Raisi. A hardline government will be more interested in being "tough with the West" than coming to an understanding.
