By Trend
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s rival Ebrahim Raisi has
started to put pressure on the current president, as the two are
getting ready to compete at the upcoming presidential elections in
the country on May 19.
Ebrahim Raisi, who is trying to cut Rouhani’s tenure short to four
years by preventing him from the presidential office in a second
term, published two open letters on his Telegram channel, both of
which aimed to weaken Rouhani’s position.
The first letter was addressed to Rouhani himself, where Raisi
called on Rouhani to “observing moral codes” in the electoral
campaign.
The second letter was addressed to Ali Askari, head of the Islamic
Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), where Raisi criticized the
IRIB for covering Rouhani’s speeches too much.
