'The election’s results will have a positive influence on the Middle East settlement, including Syrian situation, and strengthens Iran’s proactive and constructive position,' Levichev said. 'We consider Iran our key partner in counteracting international terrorism.'
According to Levichev, Russia will stand for lifting remaining sanctions on Tehran, including those connected with military-technical cooperation.
A coalition of candidates supported by the reformists, dubbed “the list of hope”, took all of the capital’s 30 parliamentary seats, according to the final results released by the Interior Ministry.
Final results for the Assembly of Experts, which is responsible for appointing the next supreme leader, showed moderate clerics leading the race.
In general, it seems that the two camps of reformists and principalists are almost evenly divided for the 290 seats in Iranian parliament (majlis).
