Congratulations and best wishes to the people of Iran. Would love to visit your country once international relations improve.
He was already choosen by our brutal leader. He is not the president of iran, he is the president of islamic republic, actually he is the best of islamic republic not iranians. 8 years with this government-elected puppet and Trump, huh. God should help us
Eyes of the world is on the result of Iran.
I am actually more impressed on the number of mics on that presscon.
I’m Iranian, and although this may sound “good”, believe me, Nothing will change, because the president has hardly any power, the supreme leader makes all the decisions

The way she ends her sentences is infuriating!!!
If so,the Iranian Society is fed up to those ayatollah!
Mayyy… Positionnnn ….. Whats with the extended tone after every sentence
impressive election . unlike the west , you chose trump or biden that nobody wants ,
then macron and la pen , and UK here are the wrost , it had four unelected presidents , damn!
Turn out has been much less than the figures reported. This is nothing to celebrate.
He doesn’t dare make any changes otherwise he will be off on a helicopter. He is more conservative than the hardliners. Another puppet in a suit this time. Expect more of the same……
30 million votes and yet western media says iranians dont like their government!
In HOI4 i placed a democratic reformers so maybe it will take a while.
Will this actually mean something towards a more peaceful world?
Will he open secret talks with I****l.
Another replacement to the previous islamic barbaric jihadist terrorists
Muslims are one believe, Fallowers of one Prophet Muhammed PBUH, one religion ISLAAM, one and only one Allah.
The efforts you apply to divide Muslims. Muslims unit with greater bond.
#Fraud_in_the_Election_Circus
Given the numerous videos from polling stations that are either empty or sparsely populated—hundreds of videos despite Iran's weak internet infrastructure, which surely prevented many individuals from uploading their footage—my question is: how did 49% of the population participate in the elections?! Even if we accept their statistics, Masoud Pezeshkian, with 18.6% of the vote from the entire population of Iran (not just from the participants, as the announced percentage is based on the participants in the elections, not the entire population), received less than one-fifth of the votes. This means four-fifths of the country's population did not support him. How can he claim the right to make decisions for the entire population and declare himself the President of Iran?! Let's not remain silent in the face of oppression and fraud. Let’s raise awareness and trend the hashtag #Fraud_in_the_Election_Circus.

As an iranian , i wish we had a guy like Gorbachev, a man like him is 1 in a million , a beautiful flower in the middle of dark decayed authoritarians
Clerics got their carrots snapped.
FREEDOM
The leader of Iran is sure that President Trump will win in the United States with a high number of votes, that's why he has moved from radical movements to moderate movements and reformists. As an Iranian, I consider the new president to be a complete coward without a plan and without a goal. Long live Trump, who is the only American president who understands the language of the Ayatollahs well, financial facilities should not be in the hands of the Islamic Republic. If Biden's procedure continues, in addition to the war between Hamas and Israel, we will see more wars between Russia and Ukraine. I hope the American people will not deception the Democrats and President Trump will lead America and the world properly again.
This is bad news for the EU. Remember, EU Commissar of Foreign Affairs and Communist Frederica Mogherini supported the Iranian suppression of women by making a deal with the totalitarian regime. Now the women of Iran (and some men) has REJECTED this policy in a clear way and EU is exposed for what it is: anti-Christian, anti-European, pro-totalitarian, pro-sharia, pro-sex slave marriage for 11 year old girls, pro-suppression of women, pro-Islamic occupation of Europe, pro co-operation with totalitarian regimes (also Zimbabwe and CCP China).
Have a look at that, they still follow the paper ballot system. India should have it's next general election to be conducted using paper ballots.
