Who is Iranian President-elect Ebrahim Raisi? Hard-liner involved in 1988 mass executions at age 28
Fox News
Saturday's Iranian election, mired in controversy after a number of would-be candidates were disqualified, yielded the victory of Ebrahim Raisi, a hard-liner who is already taking a firm stance when it comes to U.S.-Iran relations.
"It's nonnegotiable," Raisi said, according to the Associated Press. He also flatly rejected the idea of meeting with President Biden. At the same time, Raisi noted the importance of a deal, stating that sanctions relief was "central to our foreign policy."More Related News
