Iranian body electees include men implicated in terror, assassinations

(CNSNews.com) – Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Sunday hailed Iran's "glorious" elections for parliament and the Assembly of Experts, a powerful body that will pick his successor, declaring that the turnout showed "the brilliant face of religious democracy to the world."
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), meanwhile, called the election participation – the regime reported a turnout of more than 60 percent – "devastating for [Iran's] enemies," led by the United States.
