Iran re-elects reformist Hassan Rouhani as President
Reformist Hassan Rouhani on Saturday won Iran's presidential election, beating principlist opponent Ebrahim Raisi to begin his second four-year term in office. Rouhani's victory is seen as voters' mandate on his policy of opening up Iran to the world and his efforts to rebuild its stagnant economy. Rouhani had negotiated a deal to limit Iran's nuclear program for sanctions relief.
