More than 40 women have registered as prospective candidates for Iran's tenth Presidential elections raising, a top election official says.
"Of the 475 who signed up as candidates, 433 are men and 42 are women," Kamran Daneshjoo, the head of Iran's election committee told reporters on Sunday.
That means the Islamic Republic could see a woman as its head of state, becoming the first Muslim country to have a female president.

Now a question for you. Do you believe that Iranian women rights that are equal to those of Iranian men?

IF there are Israeli preemptive strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and Iran retaliates, do you honestly believe that Israel will restrict its strikes to only military targets?

Lets try again.
IF Israel does launch preemptive strikes (speculation) and Iran retaliates on Israel (as Iran has threatened) in response to the Iranian RETALIATION do you believe that Israel will THEN only target nuclear and military in Iran?
I believe it would be very foolish to assume it would stop there, for Israel at that point it will likely be all or nothing, destroy them or be destroyed.

No. AQ is not funded by the US.
Nice try, though.
Nor is Israel funding either of the organizations you suggest.
Such nonsense.

AQ was funded and trained to fight Russia in the Afgan war
