Islamic Republic of Iran has a real democracy that I suggest everyone reseach about it in fair sites and books. In fact Islamic democracy. The authorities have many ways to rebuke their opponents but only Islamic ways are acceptible like hanging on a tree, stonning to death, whipping.... You see they are completely fair. Iran is more of a semi-presidential theocratic democratic republic. Basically the President of Iran acts more like the Prime Minister of France (elected by the people, but can also be dismissed by the Supreme Leader), while the Supreme Leader of Iran is more like Nicolas Sarkozy (except that the Supreme Leader is not elected by the people but by a upper-house like assembly called the Assembly of Experts). Both the President of Iran and the Supreme Leader of Iran share executive powers, but it is the Supreme Leader that has the final say on decisions.

The highest elected position in Iran is the PRESIDENT OF IRAN. However, the unelected Supreme Ayatollah has more power than the President.
