Iran’s remaining presidential candidates recently faced off in a televised debate, with a focus on the key issues of the economy and inflation that have been raised by voters. In last week’s first round, Reformist Masoud Pezeshkian and ultra-conservative Saeed Jalili emerged as the top contenders heading into the upcoming runoff vote.
The country is currently grappling with a severe economic crisis, prompting both candidates to promise improvements in living conditions for the Iranian people. The debate provided a platform for the candidates to present their plans and strategies for addressing the economic challenges facing the nation.
As the runoff vote approaches, the Iranian electorate will be closely watching to see how each candidate plans to tackle the pressing issues of the economy and inflation. The outcome of the election will have significant implications for the future direction of Iran and the wellbeing of its citizens.
