Reformist lawmaker Masoud Pezeshkian wins Iran’s presidential vote 

Now, the new president just needs to avoid flying on helicopters

Best wishes to the Iranian people. 🇮🇷✌️🇺🇲

I'm glad to hear a moderate won in Iran, but what exactly does a moderate entail in Iran?

people of the world are screaming for change and something better from our leaders

Tough job. Hope he can do it

“Seems a very bureaucratic?” what a weird thing to say. 3:16 sounds like a powerless puppet. Unelected radical one and military rule?

This shows that the people DO want change..

Good luck Iran! I've had friends who live there I haven't heard from in years. I hope this bodes well for them.

Nothing there will change.

We could use some reform in the US. That would mean getting rid of the big corporations

A shift to a calmer Iran is always welcome

As long as you have an Ayatollah; forget moderation.😂

What reforms can he possibly create, when the real power is in the hands of the Supreme Leader?

It's interesting to see that CNN is trying to portraying Iran more military inclined than the USA 😂. Also, 50% attendance in the election is the big dream come true in the United States. So having a brief look at yourself would be nice 😉

Anyone who thinks he’s going to change anything is mistaken

Only one vote counted, guess we know who is who.

🔥😂CNN Could say the earth is round and I breathe oxygen and wouldn’t believe them anymore 😂

If you expect him to bow down to bullying, you are completely wrong. But he will work for fair international politics.

Never could have imagined myself cheering for Iran, but here I am.

Fred always does a good job reporting on Iran. He gets Iran better than most other journalists.

And he will do as the Ayatollahs tell him.

Down with the Ayatollah!!

As an Iranian, I must say the Pezeshkian is not a reformist he is just supported by some so-called reformists. This guy is following Khamenei's order only. So please do not spread the false information.

Whose house is that ?

Thank God he insists on friendship with the world. God keep offering hope! Bless them to realize that peace ought to be the most important element to ATTAIN PEACE AND SUFFOCATE WAR!

Pezeshkian might be reformist, but he is by no means pro-west. In fact, these labels of "reformist" or "hard liner" are given by the American press completely randomly.

As an American, I don't have any hatred for the Iranian people and I wish them the best. I just hope this president is able to steer them toward a less belligerent and more liberal future for Iran. I live outside of America and I have several Iranian friends. I hope to have the chance to travel there and see their historical sites someday without fear of anti-western hostility. They could make such powerful contributions toward world peace if only they could open up and accept the diverse world they are a part of.

Congrats to the new President Of IRAN. May Allah and the people Bless you.

The level of optimism from outside Iran everytime an election is called and a new leader emerges, always hopeful for peace between our nations.

Plot twist: " united states has its own Ayatollah boss, but instead of being known he lurks behind the screens and enjoys spectacle between his two players " red and blue "

Great analysis!

Why are you even advertising this on world news??

We hope president elect Mr. Masud Pezeshkian will fullfill the jenuine expectations of iranian people and also hope that he will extend his whole hearted co-operation to all the peace loving countries of the world including western countries. And hope that his government will try to develop seriously the frazile relationship with usa and its all allyes for the greater interest of iran as well as for peach & stable security in middle east & whole world . Thanks. . Bangladesh.

😂😂😂 but you use to say votes are controlled by supreme leader

A frendly face in Iran. Wow!

0:40 Something wrong with the background lighting?

congratulations from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

Nobody watches CNN anymore?

I thought Iran was not a democracy! Trump still to concede!

Iran has strong relationship with its neighbouring countries , China and Russia. This is not "international isolation". United States and Europe do not constitute the whole world, unless you are full of yourself to think that way :-).

We The Iranians are good people and we're not terrorist and we want peace and friendship with the world.This is a fact about Iran 🇮🇷

He will be great leader for Iran. Inshallah.

حالا تو که کارشناس ارشد بودی چه غلطی کردی

What is President Joe's favorite horror movie? The Thing

Peace and love around the world.

He’s not going to have ANY POWER. Every decision is made by the supreme leader.

Is this available on CNN +?

Imagine having your government overthrown by a country which speaks of International Law, and the rules based world order…(CIA Operation Ajax..MI6 Operation Boot 1953)

He was a heart surgeon

7:37 got me laughing 😂

Have to love the counting process looks better than the U.S.

Khatemi was also a reformist

Now Saudi arabia,jordan,uae,katar,bahrain, egypt people have right to vote and elected their president like iran.

Iranian lawmaker Masoud Pezeshkian, a relative moderate, has won an election run off to become the country’s next president. Pezeshkian won 16.3 million votes to beat hard-line former nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili’s 13.5 million votes, the Associated Press reported. The 69-year-old president-elect is a heart surgeon turned reforming lawmaker, who faced a field stacked with backers of more restrictive theocratic rule before beating Jalili in the runoff.

Yah... such a great democracy.

Pezeshkian He is a reformist always voted for reformists and their proposals when he was in parliament for the first time he became a minister as the minister of health in Khatami’s reformist cabinet in this election he was backed by the leaders of reformist party He is going to extend a friendship hand to the western leaders who are not on AIPac’s payroll

Supreme leader may take him out

long life to the ISLAMIC republic of IRAN, greetings from Algeria north Africa , stay United brothers 🤲❤🇩🇿🇮🇷

Reform towards current Iranian ideology is also a regional/ ethnic reform. The "moderate path" is defined well within permissible thresholds and regional geopolitical parameters. They are just three out of the four projectional options of Iran intended for favourable diplomacy as adapted. There is no scope for change of system.

How long will he last?

CIA (Criminals in Action)

IRGC is under ali Khamenei not iran president

Hopefully this might be a step towards peace in the middle east. We can only hope.

Iranian people chose peace but Israel 🇮🇱 people choose war

I bet his son doesn’t smoke narcotics like Hunter. FJB!!

pezeshkiyan from Kurdistan ❤

the most educated president in the world today ! nice Iran

Does his wife walk him around by the hand and give him baby talk like Jill does to Joe?

Probably the best news for the Iranian people. Good luck

meanwhile America seems likely to elect an orange autocratic kleptomaniac.

50% is pretty good in a region that no election happens at all compare to saudi kuwait emirate etc Even in Canada percentage is 50-60% between 2008-2023 elections

Iranians must separate politics from religion so civilized people can run the country. It's the 21st century and Iranians deserve freedom.

Pezeshkian was the only moderate "allowed to run" says it all. Yet he won by a landslide. It's a win for all Iranians. Happy for them.

You know its theater, when they fumble around with pushing crowed with a security next to them. LOL.

Flashing green screen issues lol

Cnn, why won't you talk about project 2025

That’s not factual he was not vocal about Mahsa Amini , when Mahsa Amini event happened he stayed silent didn’t raise voice , this comment was merely a campaign rhetoric @cnn please fact check

In the US, corporations running the elections with allocation of funds.

It happen in UK and now Iran to vote out the conservative right and hope the same applies to US

In Iran, power is divided into three parts 1 Judiciary 2 Parliament 3 Presidency Members of Parliament and the President are elected by the people, and the head of the judiciary is elected by the Leader The leader Also is elected by a special Parliament Called ( Majles Khobregan ) and the members of that Parliament which has 88 members, are also elected by the People !!! If you really research the government of Iran, it is not a dictatorship, it is almost a democracy, but there is not much freedom

Does he wear diapers like Brandon?

I bet he doesn’t need help filling his pill organizer like Brandon 😮

And the historian can save it

The majority of people didn't vote.

CNN do ypur job. Ask every single person who wants President Biden to drop out to name their candidate and proof they have a chance of winning!! STOP THIS MADNESS NOW!!!

*Reformist? 😂CNN please fact check.*

All the 5 numbers announced by the Iranian Ministry of Interior in the results of the first series of elections were multiples of 3. The probability of this phenomenon in nature is 0.4%, and the probability that all the numbers were deliberately multiplied by 3 and the participation in the elections was one third of the announced numbers is 99.6%. We can see this phenomenon in the second round of the elections, with the difference that the total number of votes and invalid votes are still a multiple of 3, and after multiplying all the numbers by 3, only one vote was lost from one candidate and one vote was added to another! not interesting!! I live in Iran and most of the people I know did not participate in this election.

Joe doesn't need a cognitive test, but anyone considering voting for him does.

Does that mean Iranians will stop dressing up like pajama ninjas and stop doing construction work in sandals?

That helicopter "crash" though.

We don’t have any moderate in Iranian political system.

Congratulations Mr. President elect hope you are prepared to fight the west.

Watching democrats not cope is very entertaining 😂😂😂 level 2 today not coping but not as angry

Is the new reader South African!

while israhell is facing existential threats in every corner, Iran holds elections in peace and high turnout. truer democracy than all the western countries and the aparthaid state. viva Iran. I voted Jalili but pezeshkian is the choice of majority and we will all help him make our country progress as it always does, we were an encircled and weak and sanctioned and war torn country 45 years ago and now there is no match for our smallest proxy in the region, meanwhile US was an undisputed superpower 40 years ago with no sanctions and no war touching it since hundreds of years ago, yet they are choosing between a criminal and a mentally ill senior person and it's doomed either way. pezeshkian is not anti hijab nor pro west, the goal of all political parties in iran is promote Islam and make the country progress, only the means are different, we made that clear and will countinue to do so

Brandon can give him another $16 billion in celebration!! FJB and his voters!!

A moderate in Iran. Right. That’s about as much a chance to be moderate as a western democrat candidate.

Did you know he is thr most Educated President ever ? He is a Heart Surgeon 😅😅

An election where reformist can run if they’re selected to run, which means he’s not a reformist at all

🤣🤣🤣what will he do on policy🤷🏻‍♂️🤔WHAT HE IS TOLD😉……FREE IRAN
