The fourth televised debate between the six candidates in the 14th Iranian presidential election took place in Tehran on Monday.

The discussions focused on Iran's foreign policy - 'Iran in Today's World'. Footage shows the candidates seated individually at separate tables, each presenting their vision regarding Iran's political affairs, foreign relations, and Iran's nuclear policy.

"I want foreign policy for establishing a powerful region and strengthening brotherhood with neighbouring countries," said Masoud Pezeshkian. "I want neighbouring countries to use their wealth and resources for development of the West Asia for their future generations instead of containing each other. I will see the neighbouring countries as opportunities."

The format also saw experts directing questions to the candidates about their programmes.

"This is us (revolutionaries) who can negotiate with (Donald) Trump - who you are frightening people with now and want to attract votes from again - and we will impose our demands on him," said Amirhossein Ghazizadeh Hashemi.

The six candidates are Pezeshkian, Hashemi, Mostafa Pourmohammadi, Ali Reza Zakani, Saeed Jalili, and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.

The main topics highlighted by the candidates in the debate were lifting sanctions and their plans to improve the Iranian economy. So far, three debates have been broadcast, covering economic, social, and cultural issues.

The fifth and final debate is scheduled for Tuesday, ahead of voting on Friday, June 28.

Iran is preparing for an early presidential election following the death of the late President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash on May 19.
