Hassan Rouhani wins presidential election
 |
| Current Iranian President is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad |
The turnout on Friday was significant, with Iranians coming out from Tehran, to desert polling stations, to nomads' pastures - where people would wait in line for hours in the blazing sun. In fact, voting had to be prolonged by five hours to accommodate the big numbers showing up.
The international community acknowledged the election of Rouhani as Iran's new president.
The US respects the choice of the Iranian people and hopes the that new president and his government will make "responsible choices" for a better future, White House press secretary, Jay Carney, said in a statement.
He also stressed that Washington is ready for “direct talks” with Iran over its nuclear program to find a diplomatic solution able to calm the international community.

operations; he alone can declare war or peace. He has the power to
