rouhani, he was elected based upon a reaction towards those policies.aisi, the reason why he has become so popular partially is because the reformist, moderate camp has not performed well in government, so it's not really his fault that the united states does not lift the sanctions and that the government is not doing well. dareen: mostafa khoshchesm, there are reports also that raisi is perhaps tipped to succeed the supreme leader, who of course now is 82 years old. the president is the only second most powerful man, the supreme leader is the most powerful, as we know. is there a question regarding succession here, and is the supreme leader looking at raisi as that man and perhaps once him -- wants him in the presidential position to see how he will do? >> no, based on the constitution, the assembly of experts is responsible for picking a leader of the country. the iranian supreme leader has been telling the assembly of experts that they need to have five nominees all the time to replace him any time, if anything happens to him. he has been telling the

it was pandemonium when hassan rouhani showed up to vote.up around the blocks to vote. this will be potentially one of the worst voter turnout in the history of the country and we will see the hard-liner take power. is that your base case? esfandyar: that's the very fair expectation. pundits have been saying for a while that this election would favor hard-line candidates. april predict -- a poll predicted he will win this election on the basis of 77 percent of the vote with a 53% turnout. voters are apathetic after three years of a really difficult period economically, both because of sanctions and the pandemic, and they increasingly feel disenfranchised. annmarie: what does this mean for the nuclear deal? we have the talks in vienna taking place. there is this temporary monitoring path that the iaea was able to get with iran. that expires next week. at the same time, potentially we are going to have a hard-line government come in. where does it leave those talks? esfandyar: i would not worry too much about the outcomes of the talks. the str

was a unique opportunity that the iranian public was both apathetic about the world and also about rouhaniged the economy, he had an elitist, aloof air about him, so it was a unique opportunity that the iranian public was not going to come to the ballot box with any kind of enthusiasm about a better time period lying ahead. and that apathy basically opened the door for that power grab. so, yes, i think it's not just reformists have failed to reform, the moderates and reformants have failed to govern and pushing iran's failure of opening was because of donald trump. that damaged iran's hope for change and was quite severe. >> robin explain who raisi is and what is your judgment of him? i was struck by the fact that during one of the presidential debates, one of the other candidates -- and these are all hardline right wing candidates, one of them asked raisi, can you assure me that if you win, you will not jail me? that sounded a little scary. >> yes, well, the political divisions are very deep in iran, even among hardliners. and one of the most precarious jobs in iran is either running for

he also included the same caveats as the outgoing rouhani administration, such as calling for the removalf all u.s. sanctions against iran and rejecting any moves to include iran's regional activities within the framework of such a deal. but a new complicating factor is that raisi has himself been sanctioned by the u.s. under the trump administration. of course, iran expects these and other trump era sanctions to be lifted, while the u.s. may be pressured by human rights troops to maintain these pressures on raisi. there are still ongoing negotiations in vienna, sewer mains to be seen if those can be resolved before the more moderate president rouhani leaves office in august. alix: thanks very much. truly appreciate that. also want to break some news for you. the supreme court is giving goldman a little but of breathing room here. this is in relation to a lawsuit that accuses goldman sachs of misleading shareholders by masking some conflicts of interest within the mortgage backed securities it sold. the supreme court ruling today that it is going to give goldman a chance to stop that, set

he's a very different man to the current president, hasan rouhani.si is taking. he believes in a resisting economy. that being said, he doesn't want iran to return to the new clear deal. he said it's of national importance, because even the most hard line of clerics in this country like ebrahim raisi realize that without the nuclear deal, this country is not going to get rid of nuclear sanctions, and if nuclear sanctions are still weighing down on them, this country will never survive and they'll not get anything done. that will never change. i think they'll still pursue the nuclear deal but the tone is going to change to staunchly anti-american and very proud of that, so i think it will be a tricky path for president biden to go guard with any negotiations with what looks like will be a raisi presidency. >> talk about what his election, assuming he does win, would mean for the reform movement inside iran. obviously president rouhani was considered to be a reform president even if he did not move on reform. what would it mean for raisi pushing for re

the judiciary chief, regarded as quite hostile to the west, and regarded as someone who has found rouhanilatively moderate, see you got a sweep of leadership across iran more on the ultraconservative side and much more hostile to the west. what that means for the iran nuclear deal and the u.s. returning to that is very much up in the air. rouhani would only stay on through august, and that means there is a very short window after this election, presuming that a hardliner does get elected, to negotiate the return of that deal area of course, it has been going on for weeks and weeks in vienna, so there on -- so they are under quite a lot of pressure to get something done. guy: thanks for the update. thanks very much, indeed. bloomberg's rosalind mathieson on the iranian election. let's have a look at what that outcome could ultimately mean for the iranian nuclear agreement. rafael grossi, international atomic energy agency director, joining us now, as is bloomberg's annmarie hordern, with us here on set. director general, thank you for your time today. we greatly appreciate it. i want to pi

voters could replace president rouhani with a hard-line conservative, complicating efforts for a returno a nuclear deal. welcome to the european market open, everybody. it is friday morning, 7:00 and landed -- 7:00 in london. what are the markets saying to you? good morning. mark: the arguments post fed are kind of getting more heated, not less. just in the last hour before coming on the show, i have been arguing with one of my colleagues about whether the fed with a shift to a higher vol regime or not or if we will get back to the low vol trending trading we had before. does this really matter for the dollar? was it a big shift or not? or really, it's a slight shift to the dot plot. we are still having the same arguments as yesterday. i would say the narrative has shifted quite a bit since then and we have seen that with massive curve flattening. we have seen commodities collapse. there has been big impact in markets. the conversation is shifting but we have not reached a conclusion. i think the final interpretation may not come until the middle of next week, at least. anna: there is a

at 7:00 this friday, pulling will get under way as the iranian republic picks someone to replace rouhani as president, but we should not expect long queues or a flood of people eager to cast their ballots with just over 40% of the electorate forecast to ballot. the economic doldrums iran finds itself in an lingering frustration are among the reasons prompting the low participation rate. >> a final rally ahead of friday's presidential election. followers of the front runner ultraconservative cleric gather to show their support. with just four candidates left in the race, the remaining nominees insist the contest is a serious one. >> it is a good competition. the various groups have representatives among the approved candidates. >> credit's vote to replace -- friday's vote to replace the run's ultraconservative president -- many voters say they have become disillusioned with the process, despite the urging of the president and supreme leader to go and vote. >> i don't see a candidate who can save the country from the situation it is in, which is a dire one, and that is why i won't be votin

at initial example of that was the initial success of the nuclear deal, under the rouhani administration, but in that case, it needed that final stamp of approval from -- you guessed it -- the supreme leader. of next, the national security council determines foreign and national security council's. that body is presided over by the president of the country. however, while the decisions must ultimately become armed by ayatollah -- must be confirmed by ayatollah khamenei. there are, of course, as always exceptions to this. the supreme leader has the final say. you may be wondering why i only use the pronoun he when speaking about the iranian president. the reason for that is because since the establishment of the islamic republic in 1979, no woman has ever qualified to run for president. >> next, drug manufacturer astrazeneca has issued a statement this friday to make it clear it is looking forward to a renewed collaboration with the european commission to help fight the continent's coronavirus outbreak. the statement came after a court in brussels agreed with the eu the country -- the com

a couple of minutes ago, the outgoing president rouhani met at the judiciary where raisi has been theead of that until he will take over the office of president. rouhani graduated raisi and said important for the transition of power take place in a clear and also in a peaceful way as well. for iran, itself, of course, it means that much of society will move further towards a more further trajectory. some of the things won't necessarily change that much. one of the things we have to keep in mind a lot of the things decided here in this country, not just internally but externally as well they run through a lot of echelons and e one of the folks i spoke to as this election was going on bumped into him at one of the polling stations is the head of iran's national security council and he told me that, for instance the iran nuclear agreement is something that will remain on track or getting the iran nuclear agreement is something important to get on track and he said the supreme leader supports the negotiations to get ithe u.s. back in the deal. certainly there are -- this was a pivotal ele

host: how would he compare to outgoing president hassan rouhani? guest: there is a big difference between them and they do matter. we can see that clearly, negotiating with the nuclear negotiator and the team that changed once honey came into chavez and negotiations were headed by the general, there was a difference in many ways. that is why the nuclear deal came into his existence -- and to existence. if iran moves in and authoritarian direction, with the type of selection taking place right now, it will be fascinating to see the degree to which the population decides to participate in the elections or not. the main issues have not been the issue themselves, but whether to cast a vote or not. and they will be decisive if participation rates go below 40% or 35% as early polls indicate they would. if they go higher, however, there is a likelihood might not necessarily a large one, but a likelihood, that this would half go to the second round because he would not be able to get 60% in the first round. in the second round, things can change quite a lo

they want to capitalize on the lame—duck period of the outgoing iranian president, hassan rouhani.ian supreme leader ali khamenei everything he wants. he can blame any issues with resurrecting the deal on the outgoing administration and then pin any of the dividends on the incoming hard—liner, who he is personally closer to. so you're sensing enthusiasm for the deal, in iran? not necessarily enthusiasm but something to notice, that hard—liners, who about 5, 6 years ago critiqued the deal, now talk about wanting to implement it more vigorously and indeed that is something that raisi during the debates, in televised presidential debates in the campaign cycle. so it's been a shift on their part but one reason for the shift that i don't think the biden administration has internalised is the sanctions pressure. it's the sanctions pressure that is bringing iran to the table. unfortunately that sanctions pressure seems to be easing up, based on the us position in the region and the delisting of iran's proxies in the region. and even moving sanctions off of two former iranian oil executive

president who will take office in august is likely not to be as respective to as the more moderate rouhanictive to that at all. but when we look at the markets and oil prices today, we saw the climb as analysts added doubts about the timing with which uranium crude could return to the market. but we've seen oil prices retrace themselves. maybe that's a reflection of the overall idea that not only was he expected to win this race, but also that the return to that jcpoa agreement is still what experts on this expect, more likely than not. anna: what is it that's standing in the way? what is the sticking point currently keeping the u.s. and iran on different pages? simone: yeah, it's funny but -- maybe not funny, maybe sad -- but the sticking points are part of the problem. iran wants the united states to commit that it's not going to, in the next election, a new republican coming into office, suddenly turn around and go back on this deal. that's something that's challenging for the united states to do. united states wants a broader agreement, wants a return to the nuclear deal to be a return
