TEHRAN – A senior commander of the IRGC has said that Western countries have tried and failed to depict the Iranian elections as a “sham”.

“Today, the world is aware that democracy is a reality in Iran,” General Yadollah Javani said on Monday, according to Tasnim news agency.

Javani described the latest election in the country as a manifest of Iran’s security, adding that in the Islamic Republic’s democracy people are free to “choose their fate within the framework of Islamic norms”.
