— NOTE: Among pro-government and religious Iranians, the Reformist are very much hated and blamed for the past 20 years of economic crisis.

They are also criticized for wanting to abolish or relax Hijab laws, and wanting to have strong ties with the West.

Khamenei has repeatedly instructed the government NOT to engage in a Nuclear Deal with the USA, but the Reformists did. So those same people accusing others of not following the Leader's directive is extremely hypocritical.

Iran's presidential candidate and former nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili (best candidate) adressed the rumours and says he will not withdraw from candidacy and will remain till the end.

— 🇮🇷 Iran's last official Presidential poll ahead of Friday's election

Jalili leads with 22.5%, followed by Ghalibaf at 19.5% and Pezeshkian at 19.4%, and the others below 3%.

The election will almost certainly go to a second round, because no candidate will get more than 50% of the votes in the first round.

At this point, with Jalili (Hardline) seemingly in first place, the race is on between Ghalibaf (Populist) and Pezeshkian (Reformist):

If Ghalibaf (Populist) gets second place in the first round, the second round will be between Ghalibaf and Jalili (Hardline). This would be a showdown between Iran's moderately conservative populist flank and the hardline conservative religious flank. While the two have similarities and are both conservatives, Ghalibaf also appeals to middle class non-conservative Iranians, who see him as an experienced 'manager' who built Tehran into a powerhouse during his term as a competent mayor. Jalili's voterbase consists mostly of hardline revolutionary Iranians and the religious masses, as well as university educated youths and people from rural areas.

If Pezeshkian places second in the first round, the second round will be between Pezeshkian (Reformist) and Jalili (Hardline). This would be a showdown between Iran's liberal reformist flank and the hardline conservative religious flank. In this event, Jalili will likely take almost all the votes of those who voted for Ghalibaf in the previous round, because both are part of the wider conservative flank despite their differences. On the other hand, Pezeshkian could draw in large numbers of previous non-voters, mostly anti-IR Iranians, who will feel emboldened if a Reformist reaches the second round.

The momentum for Jalili keeps on building. Pezeshkian is also doing well, especially on social media and in Tehran. Ghalibaf seems to have much less momentum on his side.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 I see that some Americans raging about this

Of course the United States will allow Iranians in America to vote in Iran's Presidential elections. Most diaspora Iranians are extremely liberal, and will vote for the Reformist, pro-Western candidates. This is in America's advantage, so why wouldn't they allow it?

Having said that, anyone with an Iranian passport, no matter how liberal and cringe, has the right to vote in the elections. Or just don't vote, even better.
