Iran’s foreign minister comments on Raisi as new elected president

Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Saturday that hardline judge Ebrahim Raisi was the country’s new elected president and that “everyone of us will have to work in a way whether we disagree with him or whether we agree with him.” Raisi won the country’s presidential election in a landslide victory, propelling him into Tehran’s highest civilian position in a vote that appeared to see the lowest turnout in the Islamic Republic’s history.
