Former President Hassan Rouhani extended his congratulations to President-elect Masoud Pezeshkian.
Rouhani said that the people voted for constructive engagement with the world and the revival of the 2015 nuclear deal (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action), signed during Rouhani’s tenure.
He also stressed that the government and authorities must not ignore those who did not participate in the election.
Rejecting allegations by other presidential runners who described Pezeshkian’s administration as the continuation of Rouhani’s, he said that “the 14th administration is the first government of Dr. Pezeshkian, not a continuation of previous administrations.”
