Iran’s former top nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili congratulated his rival Masoud Pezeshkian on his victory in the country's presidential runoff.

Earlier, electoral authority spokesman Mohsen Eslami confirmed that Pezeshkian received more than 16 million votes and Jalili more than 13 million out of about 30 million votes cast, adding that voter turnout stood at 49.8%.

"By gaining a majority of the votes cast on Friday, Pezeshkian has become Iran's next president," the Iranian Interior Ministry also announced.

Iran's Ministry of the Interior announced that reformist candidate Masoud Pezeshkian won the 2024 presidential election with a total of 16,384,403 votes, while conservative candidate Saeed Jalili received 13,538,179 votes. pic.twitter.com/sPvwmxZbbO
