Registration for parliamentary elections opens in Iran
Registration for March 14 parliamentary elections opened on Saturday throughout Iran, with potential candidates set to vie for 290 seats in the legislature including a politically important 30 in the capital Tehran.
Iranians began voting Friday for a new president after a fiery campaign which has seen moderate ex-premier Mir Hossein Mousavi emerge as the main challenger to incumbent hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
