This could be a huge game changer.

As Iran's clerical branch of the government is aging, the moderate parliament will in all likelihood be tasked with picking replacements in the near future. This could be a new era for Iran and the Middle East as the timing is perfect for this shift.
Won't the clerics who replace the aging clerics be just as cleric-y?

As far as I understood it, the clerics are actually the ones who shape policy and hold power. The parliament is secondary to them in terms of decision making power.
