I have searched and there are no threads for political news from outside North America and Europe so I thought I would start one. 
Anyway Iran had parliamentary elections and the reformists won in a landslide. They were also voting for members of "The Assembly of Experts" which is the body that selects Iran's supreme leader. Iran's current supreme leader is 76 and said to have suffered from health problems. The new Assembly of Experts may have to choose another supreme leader someday. Could this mean that sometime in the future Iran could have a moderate as head of state?
