    Didn’t Khamenei already address this and say that regardless of who wins there won’t be any substantial changes to the status quo?

      Of course. Iran is more like a monarchy. The king is still the king, but if the people are unhappy enough, the king might be compelled to give up influence to parliament.

      Not a perfect analogy by any means, but I think it helps.
