— ❗️WARNING:

In the coming hours, the enemies of the Islamic Republic will likely try to doubt the integrity of the election results.

Iran International, an opposition news outlet, has already started to claim that the turnout has been manipulated. If Dr. Saeed Jalili wins the election, external enemies will try even harder to discredit the result, just like they did in 2009.

Whatever the result, it is fair and watertight; both candidates have representatives in all polling stations to monitor the counting of the votes. Large scale fraud is impossible.

— 🇮🇷 NEW: The three provinces with the highest voter turnout are Yazd (70.9%), South Khorasan (70.24%), and Koohgiluyeh - Boyer Ahmad (68.74%)

All of these provinces went mainly to Dr. Saeed Jalili during the first round of the Presidential election last Friday.

@Middle_East_Spectator

There are NO results yet, neither official nor non-official.

Any channel that claims otherwise is wrong.

Masoud Pezeshkian's security team has been replaced with an increased security detail.

As of now, it is extremely close.

Some media falsely claiming that Pezeshkian won with 16 million votes to Jalili's 13 million votes, are very premature.

Only go based on official numbers. This is why I don't share rumors or unofficial stats.

— 🇮🇷 I have seen enough: Reformist candidate Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian will be the 9th President of the Islamic Republic

We wish the best of luck to Dr. Pezeshkian for his upcoming term in office, and we pray that his Presidency will be fruitful and positive for the Iranian people, and that God may guide him towards correct deeds.

While I would have loved to see Dr. Saeed Jalili as President, and while I strongly believe he was the better candidate, we must now accept that the people have spoken and stand behind the system, that is, the Islamic Republic.
