Iran's new president Masud Peshaskian

Iran's new president is the reformist Masood Peshaskian who was elected by 53.3 percent of the votes, defeating hard-lined conservative rival Saeed Jalili, while Jalili received 44.3 percent of the vote, according to the British media BBC.

The first phase of the June 28 election did not get more than 50 percent of the votes. Only 40 percent of the country's voters participated in the first round of voting.

According to the report, the voter turnout was higher in the second phase of the vote held on Friday compared to the first phase of last week. Some voters who did not vote in the first round of votes agreed to vote for Peshkian, as they did not want to see the hardline Jalili as the next president of Iran.

They feared that if Jalili wins, Iran will go on further conflict with the outside world, which he will be able to give the country nothing but more sanctions and further isolation.

In the video on social media, fans of the streets in other cities across the country, including Tehran, were seen celebrating his odds.

Peshaskian is a former heart surgeon, promising ‘unity and solidarity’, as well as Iran's ‘separation’ from the world He has created a stir by promising to prevent it.

The renewal of the 2015 nuclear deal was a ‘constructive talk’ with Western powers The 2019-1990s called by Peshkitan, which was called by the Agreement, was agreed to end the nuclear program in exchange for the slapping of the Western sanctions imposed on Iran.
