They might be less inclined to Moderates this time around, they're the ones being burnt at the stake for both the nuclear deal and Soleimani's assassination, as I've mentioned. The collapse of the agreement meant the economy slumped, and the Iranian economy wasn't that good to begin with unless you have lots of oil. Plus, it must be remembered that the Guardian Council is half-chosen by the now Hardliner-dominated ICA(the other half by the Ayatollah).
Come to think of it, when you look at how their system works, Iran actually has a pretty robust system of separation of powers, at least for the region it's in.
makes sense. The Guardian council is a undemocratic body though. They reject candidates for arbitrary reasons and can overturn the parliament. A woman is likely never going to be allowed to be on the ballot for president.
As was said earlier, theocracy trumps democracy if there's ever a dispute.
