Both Israel and Iran are now fighting openly. Tel Aviv says that the fight will last till the Supreme Leader of Tehran Ali Khamenei is eliminated. Please tell that Muslim-Bahul elections are held in this country, in which cabinet and leaders are elected. But the impact strength is in the hands of the religious leader Khamenei. Khumini, who brought the Islamic revolution, was also as powerful. So if Tel Aviv succeeds in his intentions, then the era of elected governments in Iran will return?
What kind of government in Iran
Iran is a democratic country, but the real power there is with religious dictatorship. He decides what will be made in the country. By the way, like the rest of the countries, there is an election on time here. The leader of Parliament called Majlis is the President. The public only chooses the President and then he selects his ministers. But they do not have the power to take decisions. Supreme leader Ali Khamenei is currently a kartaist. They control the army, revolutionary guards, intelligence agencies, courts and even the media there.
This settlement began after the Islamic revolution of 1979. Then the democratic government was counted and Rohollah Khomeini declared the country an Islamic Republic. After this, the new constitution of Iran was formed, in which the religious leader was kept at the top. After Khomeini, this power came to his trusted partner Khamenei, which is still with him.
What can happen next
Now come on the recent war. The way the person is dead and Israel is aggressive about the existing leader, it is difficult to say anything about what will happen. However, even if the Khamenei becomes weak, there is no appearance of special change. Actually Khamenei is not alone, the whole system runs on their ideology.
There are many bodies of Shia religious leaders, who will protect this thinking under any circumstances. With the aging of Khamenei, there was talk of choosing the successor many times. That is, the country is ready for not broken. The assembly of experts will choose the new Supreme Leader. He can probably be equally strict.
Are there Liberals in the country
In between, liberal groups in Iran also kept pushing. Reformists want the power to come to the elected government from the hands of the Islamic Sharia. Shortly before, many groups had requested to adopt the middle path. They wanted women to get freedom in Iran and the conversation should be cured from the West. However, the religious leaders stopped him from participating in the elections. The impact of many such parties was limited, even many such leaders had to remain silent.
How was the picture before the year 1979
There were selected governments in Iran before the Islamic revolution. It was a democratic and secular country. But in the fifties, the US and fellow countries together conducted an operation and attacked the then Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddek. In fact, the West was afraid that if Iran had control oil and grows close to the Soviet Union, then the western dominance from that area would end.
After dropping power, the US handed over its man to Shah Mohammad Raza Pahlavi. Shah ended democracy and started putting opponents in jail. Even though he was western thinking, but there was a lot of torture in his government era.
At the same time, Shia religious leader Khomeini was strengthened. He was against the westernization of Iran. The public was already angry with Shah. She came with Khomeini and Shah had to leave the country. People hoped that democracy would now come in Iran, but the religious leader declared the country an Islamic Republic as soon as he took power. Many secular and liberal groups, which were part of the revolution, were either excluded or abolished.
