Iranian women show their IDs as they wait in line to cast their votes in the parliamentary and Experts Assembly election outside a polling station at Ershad Mosque in Tehran, Iran, 26 February 2016. Voting began in Iran's parliamentary elections, which mark the first test of the political mood since Iran's nuclear deal with major powers reached in July. More than 4,800 candidates are running for 290 seats. Voters were also electing the 88 members of the Assembly of Experts, the body that selects a supreme leader, who is Iran's head of state, and monitors his work. Almost 55 million people are eligible to vote including 8.5 million in the capital Tehran. (Photo by Abedin Taherkenareh/EPA)
