I believe we have democracy here, at least, unofficially. our people are so active in politics, they can't stand a dictator or totalitarian government.
That is a distortion - the people only get to vote on a list of mujtahids APPROVED BY THE GOVERNMENT, it's NOT democratic. Furthermore, the president can only be elected from nominees approved by the council of guardians, who in turn are appointed by the Supreme Leader. You have a sham democracy. The Supreme Leader doesn't have to interfere, if everyone in government has been either directly or indirectly approved by him.

Neither one of those posts answered the question of why you are generating enriched uranium which you claim is only for energy, when you are sitting on an ocean of oil.
