"the election of the nominally reformist Masood Pezeshkian as president this year, despite the unprecedented low voter turnout in the first round of voting, has restored a veneer of authority to the system in Iran."

You're joking, right? Do you know a single Iranian inside the country who shares this opinion?

The fact that you might actually believe this seriously undermines any shred of credibility your analysis might have.

The mathematically tripled presidential first round numbers (all four totals ended in multiples of 3) showed turnout was a paltry 15% at best. This is authority to you?

I'm flabbergasted you could post such a whopping distortion and expect to be taken seriously.
