Tehran, IRNA – The runoff presidential election started across Iran at 08:00 a.m. local time on Friday.

Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei cast his ballot in a polling station in Tehran just after the start of the election.

Iran’s runoff election is slated for today across the country and at 138 Iranian representative offices abroad.

The early election was held on June 28 with the participation of four candidates.

Masoud Pezeshkian and Saeed Jalili won more votes than other hopefuls; and, the runoff election was planned for a week later as none of the candidates could get the majority of votes to be the next president of Iran.
