Candidate | Party | Ideology

Hassan Rouhani | Moderation and Development Party | Pragmatism
Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf | Progress and Justice Population of Iran | Conservatism
Ebrahim Raisi | Combatant Clergy Association | Clericalism
Eshaq Jahangiri | Executives of Construction Party | Reformism
Mostafa Mir-Salim | Islamic Coalition Party | Islamism
Mostafa Hashemitaba | Executives of Construction Party | Reformism

What do these ideological labels mean in the context of Iranian politics (aside conservatism and reformism), especially "clericalism"? Aren't they all Islamists to one or another extent? And isn't it better to describe Rouhani as a reformist, at least moderate?

All Iranian political parties are roughly divided into these two camps:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_Reformists

I know this :-). My question (which has been answered now) mostly was to which of these camps belong Raisi and Mir-Salim (whose ideologies were described as "clericalism" and "Islamism" respectively).
