Ebrahim Raisi has been inaugurated as president of Iran.
He was inaugurated on Friday.
Raisi termed as ultraconservative was inaugurated after receiving the approval of supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a ceremony broadcast live on state television.
“Following the people’s choice, I task the wise, indefatigable, experienced and popular Hojatoleslam Ebrahim Raisi as President of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Khamenei wrote in a decree read out by his chief of staff.
Raisi replaces moderate president Hassan Rouhani, whose landmark achievement was the 2015 nuclear agreement between Iran and six major powers.
Iran according to Political Analysts is a country whose hopes of shaking off a dire economic crisis hinges on reviving a nuclear deal with world powers.
