Addressing a packed Tehran stadium, presidential candidate Hassan Rohani urged young supporters to overcome their frustration over the lack of jobs and Iran’s pariah status and back him in the June 14 election.
“If you want Iranian officials to stop presenting inaccurate economic data, if you want the rial to regain its value, if you want the Iranian passport to be respected again, come to the ballot boxes,” Rohani, one of eight candidates in the June 14 election, told about 9,000 people at a June 8 rally in Tehran.
