Shameless Campaigning

BBC Persian reports that a new morning newspaper has published in Tehran titled Amin (means Trusted) in which its editor public ally says it's backing Mohsen Rezai.

It's unprecedented that a newspaper publicly announce not only its political leaning, but also the fact that it's going to back a particular candidate.

Mohsen Rezai is the former head of the Revolutionary Guards during most of the eight year Iran - Iraq in the 80s. He is now a centrist conservative candidate. Rezai has also been running a news website, _Baztab_ for the past couple of years.
