London, 27 May – When Iranian President Hassan Rouhani was re-elected for his second term, Western media was quick to portray him as a moderate. Again. This is how he was described during his first term.
However, the reality is much different. He was not a moderate during his first term because he was in office when there was an unprecedented amount of executions being carried out.
