None of the nations in the region are true Democracies..... your misguided, uniformed and ignorant anti-Semitism has been noted however.

Iran's re-elected moderate President Hassan Rouhani has received a further boost after reformists won key council elections in the capital, Tehran.
The pro-Rouhani reformist group Omid (Hope) won all 21 seats, ousting their conservative rivals who had been in power for 14 years.
Mr Rouhani won Friday's presidential election in the first round.
He promised voters a moderate and outward-looking Iran and criticised the conservative-dominated judiciary.
Council elections were held

Its a miracle that they have elections at all, most other countries in the Middle East don't.

Yes. And for the most part the actual action of voting is fair. As a matter of fact they kept the polls open until midnight so anyone that wanted to vote, could.The selection of who gets to be the candidates is screwed up though.

Elections in Iran are a farce intended to appease liberal snowflakes in the West. There is only ONE law in Iran regardless of a figurehead President; that is held by the Supreme Leader Ayatollah.

That is not correct. The President of the country and the religious leaders are two separate entities. The President can make deals with other countries, pick his own cabinets members etc, even if the Supreme Leader does not agree.

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.

Take your time and look up the Presidential powers in Iran. A quick example is Obama. The Supreme leader did not want to deal with the U.S., the President did. And it happened.

Moving closer to an indictment.

Police in Israel are moving closer towards a recommendation that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is indicted on criminal charges over allegedly accepting lavish illegal gifts, it has emerged.
Reporter Amnon Abramovich for Israel’s Channel 2 said on Wednesday that the decision is expected early next month after investigators decided they can proceed without questioning Australian billionaire and friend of Mr Netanyahu James Packer.

More than 90 individuals have now been interviewed since 1 January as part of a huge corruption sting involving more than 50 influential Israeli business leaders and other public figures that has spiralled to include the Prime Minister. In “Case 1000”, as it is known, it is alleged that he and his wife received lavish and “inappropriate” gifts from wealthy supporters such as cash, cigars and champagne. Mr Netanyahu has been questioned by police at least once.

It is alleged that Mr Packer gave the Netanyahu’s elder son Yair, 25, free hotel rooms and flights on luxury holidays to gain influence with the family.

The Netanyahus have consistently denied all accusations of wrongdoing. Several other investigations – including one into allegations the Prime Minister tried to bribe a newspaper owner for favourable coverage – are ongoing. Channel 2 reported there is now more than enough material for police to recommend an indictment to Israel’s Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, who makes the final decision.

Sorry, I was confused. I thought this was about the UN and all their impotent yammering against Israel. If it's internal to Israel, let the evidence speak.

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:
 
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.
