Will you never quit your disinformation?
Christians and Jews have every right to run for office in Iran. In fact, parliamentary seats are reserved for members of religious minorities. Straight out of the Wiki:
After the Persian Constitutional Revolution, the Constitution of 1906 provided for reserved Parliamentary seats granted to the recognized religious minorities, a provision maintained after the 1979 Iranian Revolution. There are 2 seats for Armenians and one for each other minority: Assyrians, Jews and Zoroastrians.
If you want to criticize a country for not letting religious minorities even have houses of worship (something that’s a clear and direct violation of Quranic principles) let alone be in the government, try Saudi Arabia.
Doesn’t some council decide if a candidate is worthy, or is that just for the Fuhrer…er, 'scuse me, the President?
