I beg to differ. Nothing happens that isn't approved by the Supreme Leader:
On the surface, the U.S. and Iranian governments have much in common: a president who is popularly elected, a boisterous legislature, and a powerful judiciary. The obvious difference lies in the fact that Iran is an Islamic theocracy, and that one man, the Supreme Leader, exerts ideological and political control over a system dominated by clerics who shadow every major function of the state. While Western governments welcomed the election of Mohammad Khatami -- a forward-thinking cleric known for his moderate views -- to the presidency in 1997 (and again in 2001), there are areas of the Iranian power structure over which he has virtually no control, including the armed services. Below is a brief overview of the key components of Iran's government and political system.

I see that you ignored the link and the FACTS contained in it. The President is a figurehead who serves the REAL power in Iran which resides in the Supreme Leader.
I cannot argue with someone who refuses to comprehend the facts and supporting links and continues to just declare Iran a true democracy with a President that can do things. :lol:

Bernie stood a better chance at the nomination in Iran than he did the US.

I think there was some initial crime with the Russians, likely not involving Rump personally, but Rump managed the cover up and is guilty of Obstruction of Justice.
