The election on June 18 was dominated by judiciary chief Ebrahim Raisi, a protege of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The moderate candidate in Iran’s presidential election has conceded he lost to the country’s hard-line judiciary chief. Former Central Bank chief Abdolnasser Hemmati wrote on Instagram to judiciary chief Ebrahim Raisi early June 19. Mr. Hemmati wrote, “I hope your administration provides causes for pride for the Islamic Republic of Iran, improves the economy and life with comfort and welfare for the great nation of Iran.”More Related News
