Ruhani has won the elections in Iran

The Iranian authorities officially confirmed that Hasan Rukhani won the presidential election in Iran. He is now going to occupy this post for the second time.

From the point of view of Iranian politics, this means the victory of Western reformists over conservatives and supporters of Shiite orthodoxy.
