Abstract

The Legislative elections in Iran have been held in a climate of rivalry. The elections had to clarify who had the real political power in Iran, the clerics and the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei or the President of the Republic, the secular Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, supported by the Revolutionary Guard Corps. The reality was that the conservative faction led by the United Principalist Front, supported by the Supreme Leader, has obtained the victory.
