Rigged Election Mullahs

Who's going to be running for President in Iran this year? Why, a mullah, of course!

Former Iranian President and cleric Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani has indicated he plans to stand in June's presidential elections.

He told Iran's state-run news agency he felt he had to "swallow the bitter pill" of contesting elections again for the sake of the country.

Opinion polls suggest Mr Rafsanjani will be the frontrunner in the contest.

Local media has been on tenterhooks about when he might declare he is in the race.

This should be entertaining.
