Ibrahim Raeisi was elected President of Iran

 


  On Thursday, Saeed Jalili, Ali Raza Zakani and Mohsin Mehr Ali Zada ​​announced their withdrawal from the contest, leaving the main contest between Raeesi and Abdul Nasser.

 Ibrahim Raisi won 38% of the vote in the 2017 election and was defeated by President Hassan Rouhani. According to the constitution, no candidate can run for the presidency for the third time in a row, so President Rouhani is out of the race this time.

According to reports, Ibrahim Raeisi is also a favorite candidate of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. All polls suggest that hardliner Ibrahim Raisi will win the presidential election.

 International observers and diplomats believe the June 18 presidential election will have a direct impact on the nuclear deal between Iran and world powers.

Until now, world powers have been in talks with moderate President Hassan Rouhani. Now, after eight years in the presidency, the sun of Rouhani's rule is setting. The success of such a candidate can be difficult to negotiate. 

Observers believe the talks could face new obstacles once the hardline president takes office.
