10. SOUNDBITE (Farsi) Abbas Abdi, political commentator aligned with reformists:
"Over the next three days I think a considerable movement will shape up and either they (Pezeshkian and Saeed Jalili) will either go to the run-off with a huge margin (in favour of Pezeshkian) or Pezeshkian will win it outright in the first round. If they go the run-off, it will be most likely against (Saeed) Jalili and a very harsh encounter will form against the hardliners."

"I think Pezeshkian is the main candidate of the other side, namely the ruling establishment. Certainly they didn’t allow Pezeshkian to run by mistake."

16. SOUNDBITE (Farsi) Abbas Abdi, political commentator aligned with reformists:
"The ruling system wants to distance the government form the issue of replacement (for supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after his death). Mr. (Ebrahim) Raisi was too involved in this issue. That, and not the government, was actually his main agenda. I don’t think they want the government to have a role in the replacement issue."
