DUBAI, June 27 (Reuters) - Two hardline candidates dropped out of Iran's
presidential election on Thursday, a day ahead of the landmark vote, and called
for unity among forces supporting the country's Islamic revolution, state media
reported.
Iranian's tightly controlled election on Friday follows Ebrahim Raisi's death in
a helicopter crash last month, with the outcome expected to influence the
succession to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the top decision-maker in the
clerically-ruled state.

Tehran's mayor Alireza Zakani and head of the Martyrs' Foundation Amirhossein
Ghazizadeh-Hashemi exited the race, state media said. They were expected to win
just 1.7% and 2% of votes respectively according to a 22-23 June poll carried
out by the Iran Students Polling Centre.
Their departure leaves four presidential candidates and Zakani urged the two
most prominent hardline ones to join forces to prevent moderate Masoud
Pezeshkian from winning.

"I call upon Saeed Jalili and Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf to unite and not leave the
demands of the revolutionary forces unanswered," Zakani wrote on X, referring to
the former nuclear negotiator and his hardline rival, parliament speaker and
former head of the powerful Revolutionary Guards.
Khamenei, now 85, has ensured candidates sharing his hardline views dominate the
presidential contest. Iran's president is traditionally closely involved in the
process of choosing the supreme leader.

The elections are taking place at a sensitive time. Tensions with Israel are
escalating over the Gaza conflict, the West is pressuring Tehran to scale back
its nuclear plans, and domestic dissent is growing over political, social, and
economic crises.
Pezeshkian, a former health minister, has the endorsement of Iran's
politically-sidelined reformist camp that advocates detente with the West, but
his chances are unclear, with dissidents in and outside Iran calling for an
election boycott.

   U.S. President Joe Biden's reelection campaign quickly upended its strategy
   after an assassination attempt on Republican rival Donald Trump in western
