Iran holds runoff presidential vote pitting hard-liner against reformist

In this photo made available by Iranian state-run TV, IRIB, Iranian presidential candidate Saeed Jalili, left, a hard-line former nuclear negotiator, and reformist candidate Masoud Pezeshkian greet one another at the conclusion of a debate at the TV studio in Tehran, Iran, on June 1, 2024.

An initial round of voting June 28 saw no candidate get over 50% of the vote, forcing the runoff. The candidates are running to replace the late president, who was killed in a helicopter crash.
