I disagree - a "process for elections" isn't indicative of anything, especially as the mullahs have a dictatorial grip on power and no interest in releasing it.

All the process of elections in Iran means is that a group of bloodthirsty ayatollahs retain Supreme power and allow a few ayatollah-approved candidates to run-against each other on a platform the ayatollahs may censor as they sit fit - which the ayatollahs will later be allowed to veto or approved as they see fit when the time comes.
