Iran Today: The IRGC, Basij and "Defeating The Enemy" In The Presidential Election
Saturday, June 8, 2013 at 7:58 | Joanna Paraszczuk in EA Iran, EA Live, Iran Election 2013, Middle East and Iran Rouhani: I Had To Answer Qalibaf In Debate
An EA correspondent writes: the video below --- showing moderate candidate Hassan Rouhani in his car --- was recorded after last night's debate.
At the beginning of the video someone on the road tells Rouhani well done and the man with him says he appreciates Rouhani for the answers he gave in the debate, and asks him what he thought about it.
Rouhani says: "I didn’t want to answer him [Principlist candidate Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf] like that but when I saw that he was not telling the truth, I had to say something to make sure people understand everything properly and also for historical records. I had so many things to say but I wanted to follow morality. Unfortunately some people place justice and truth to one side in competition."
