Iran's supreme leader calls for 'maximum' turnout for presidential election

Iran’s supreme leader is calling for “maximum” voter turnout in Friday’s presidential election to “overcome the enemy.” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei made the comments in a speech Tuesday marking the Shiite holiday of Eid al-Ghadir. He drew repeated calls from onlookers of “Death to America! Death to Israel!” Friday’s election comes after a May helicopter crash that killed Iran’s hard-line President Ebrahim Raisi, a protégé of Khamenei. The call comes after a parliamentary election that saw a record low turnout earlier this year.
