THE INDEPENDENT
Peyvand Khorsandi
Since his election in June, I’ve been asked a number of times what I think of Hassan Rouhani, the new Iranian president. As an Iranian exile, I don’t think much – or I’d be on the first plane home (for a visit, anyway).
For what it’s worth, I think he’s atrocious, and I was surprised when Iranians voted him in; by all accounts they were petrified at the prospect of four years under one of his even more reactionary rivals.
