Iran's 48 million voters are being called on March 2 to decide their next parliament in elections whose turnout will be weighed to give an idea of support for the Islamic republic's regime.
The ideological spectrum of those running for Iran's parliament runs "from pitch black to dark gray," Karim Sadjadpour, an Iran analyst at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, told The New York Times ahead of Friday's election.
