Iran's Interior Ministry announced the conclusion of parliamentary elections on Saturday following two rounds of contests among the qualified candidates. Reports say the reformists and moderates gained ground in the 10th Majlis elections, but none of the heavyweight political groups have been able to seize the majority.
Official results from Iran’s legislative run-off polls show reformist candidates have scored a victory. Reformists have secured 42 percent of the seats, while principlists got nearly 30 percent. Independent candidates have gained 22 percent of the parliamentary seats. Nearly 140 candidates competed for 68 parliamentary seats up for grabs, which were left undecided in the first round of the elections held on February 26. There was no run-off vote in the capital, Tehran, where Reformists and independents won all the 30 seats during the first round. The new parliament is scheduled to convene on May 27.

NewsBeat Social's Middle East analyst Ali Al-Mshakheel asked Iraqi journalists what the recent election gains made by reformists in Iran mean for those in Iraq
Reformists takes all parliamentary seats in Tehran Iran has taken one more step towards becoming a “reformed” country in the first elections since it signed a nuclear deal with six world powers. Often described as a pragmatist, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s effort to change long-sanctioned Iran’s fate finally blossomed, Fresh votes could mark whole new fate All these steps might be more crucial for Iran than they seem. If 79-year old Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dies in the next 8 years, the Assembly of Experts would end up electing a new Supreme Leader, Even Khamenei himself has actually hinted that it is likely to happen, And the new top official of Iran could be more moderate, when it comes to engaging with the wider world and being willing to alter Iran’s hard-line poli...

Could this be the turning point that changes the balance of power between reformists and conservatives? Produced by Charles WENTE, François WIBAUX and Van MEGUERDITCHIAN.

Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe In the presidential vote set to be held on June 14, only eight of the 686 people who registered as candidates were cleared to stand. The decision, though not entirely unexpected, is a setback for reformists in Iran. The next Iranian president will now almost certainly be a conservative, loyal to the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

What is happening inside Iran? What became of the green movement? While reformists seem removed from the political scene, what do the Iranians want for the future of their country? What have become of the aspirations of thousands of Iranian men and women who revolted against an oppressive regime, only to be bloodily suppressed? Without necessarily questioning the notion of an Islamic republic, they just want to make their country a little more democratic. Have their hopes fizzled out? On this particular journey we have special access to insiders, allowing us to measure how things are bubbling in a country where nearly 70% of the population is under 25, where the youth and their thirst for freedom threaten to boil over.

On February 26, 2016 millions of Iranians went to the ballot boxes to elect their candidates for the country’s parliament and the Assembly of Experts. The timing of the elections was especially important. They came only months after the Rouhani government’s landmark deal with the Western superpowers that settled a long-running dispute over Iran’s nuclear program. The contest between the Principlists, Reformists and independent candidates vying for the seats in the country’s legislative body made it all more intense. Of the 12,123 individuals who had registered their names to run for parliament, only around 6,300 managed to win the approval of the powerful Guardian Council. And of the 801 who put their names down for the Assembly of Experts election, 161 were qualified. Statistics say of...
