STORYLINE:
Masoud Pezeshkian, a heart surgeon who rose to power in parliament, has become Iran's president-elect.
Reformist candidate Pezeshkian won a runoff presidential election Saturday, besting hard-liner Saeed Jalili by promising to reach out to the West and ease enforcement on the country’s mandatory headscarf law after years of sanctions and protests squeezing the Islamic Republic.
Hundreds of Iranians gathered in Tehran to celebrate the newly elected president with cheers, slogans and prayers.
Addressing the public for the first time as president, Pezeshkian said: "In this election, I didn’t give you false promises. I did not say things that I couldn't do afterwards. I didn't lie."
"The elections went smoothly and ultimately the votes were counted correctly. First, we should thank the supreme leader. It he wasn't there, I don't think we would have been announced winners of the elections easily", he said.
Pezeshkian promised no radical changes to Iran’s Shiite theocracy in his campaign and long has held Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as the final arbiter of all matters of state in the country.
But even Pezeshkian’s modest aims will be challenged by an Iranian government still largely held by hard-liners, the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip, and Western fears over Tehran enriching uranium to near-weapons-grade levels with enough of a stockpile to produce several nuclear weapons if it chose.
A vote count offered by authorities put Pezeshkian as the winner with 16.3 million votes to Jalili’s 13.5 million in Friday’s election.
Overall, Iran’s Interior Ministry said 30 million people voted in an election held without internationally recognized monitors, representing a turnout of 49.6% - higher than the historic low of the June 28 first round vote but lower than other presidential races.
