Talk:2013 Iranian presidential election debates

Not low-importance?
In her essay on the 2013 elections, the Brookings Institution's expert on Iran wrote an essay, Iran Surprises Itself and the World, which noted the importance of the 2013 presidential election debates:
 * In the end, however, while Rouhani's boundary-bashing may have set the stage, it was a televised debate among all the candidates that really broke the presidential race wide open. The fact that the debates were held at all raised eyebrows. Ahmadinejad's deft and dangerous exploitation of the 2009 debates—when he wielded intelligence files on television as a prop to accuse his rivals of corruption and nepotism—had sparked an uproar. Many expected that the regime would simply dispense with debates. Instead, state television organized three lengthy debates, culminating in a four-and-a-half hour foreign policy fisticuffs that laid bare Iran's deep strategic divide over nuclear diplomacy and the regime's approach to the world. (Emphasis added.)

Given the importance this has for international scholarship on Iran's leaders' perspectives, a better treatment of this page would be welcome. --MrRedwood (talk) 07:14, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
