Moderate Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has said his re-election shows voters reject extremism and want more links with the outside world.
After avoiding a run-off with a 57% outright victory over his main rival, Mr Rouhani said he respected the opponents’ right to criticise him.
Mr Rouhani, 68, supports the landmark deal to curb Iran’s nuclear programme.
The decisive victory gives him a strong mandate to seek reforms and revive the country’s ailing economy, analysts say.
