Polls open in Iran for presidential election
Voting stations in Iran opened at 8 a.m. (local time) for a snap presidential election, the interior ministry says, following the death of president Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash last month.
“We start the elections” for the country’s 14th presidential elections, Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi says in a televised address.
