TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s state TV Saturday censored a documentary released by President Hassan Rouhani’s campaign, ahead of the upcoming presidential election. A report by the semi-official ILNA did not elaborate but a Rouhani campaign official confirmed to The Associated Press that state TV had cut parts of “President Rouhani”. He said state TV also cut out a remark by a student in which he said Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenea supported the 2015 landmark nuclear deal between Iran and world powers. State TV did not immediately provide any comment. Earlier this week Khatami announced his support for Rouhani, and Mousavi is also considered a Rouhani supporter.
