"Our policy is one of detente. We want to have interaction with the whole world except Israel," former parliamentary speaker Mehdi Karoubi told a news conference ahead of Friday's parliamentary election.
He urged voters to turn out for the poll, even though reformists are contesting little more than half the 290 seats. A vetting council has disqualified many of their candidates.
