#Reformist #Pezeshkian beats hard-liner to win Iran presidential election, promising outreach to West

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — "Reformist candidate #MasoudPezeshkian won Iran’s runoff presidential election Saturday, besting #hardliner #SaeedJalili by promising to reach out to the West and ease enforcement on the country’s mandatory #headscarf law after years of sanctions and #protests squeezing the Islamic Republic.
"Pezeshkian promised no radical changes to Iran’s Shiite theocracy in his campaign and long has held Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as the final arbiter of all matters of state in the country. But even Pezeshkian’s modest aims will be challenged by an Iranian government still largely held by hard-liners, the ongoing #IsraelHamas war in the #Gaza Strip, and Western fears over Tehran enriching uranium to near-weapons-grade levels with enough of a stockpile to produce several #nuclearweapons if it chose.
"A vote count offered by authorities put Pezeshkian as the winner with 16.3 million votes to Jalili’s 13.5 million in Friday’s election. Overall, Iran’s Interior Ministry said 30 million people voted in an election held without internationally recognized monitors, representing a turnout of 49.6% — higher than the historic low of the June 28 first round vote but lower than other presidential races."

#MasoudPezeshkian, a #Reformist, won the runoff election for president in #Iran.
The Grand Ayatollah is still the supreme leader, but this is a clear sign that views of the #Iranian people are shifting toward support of #WomensRights, #LGBTQIA rights, #freedom of #religion and #expression, and rejection of religious #theocracy
It gives me a little hope for #humanity. If the people of Iran can vote for #democracy, maybe the people of #France and the #US can do the same

In the latest cause for concern, police in #Hanoi have arrested a #reformist labor ministry official, Nguyen Van Binh, 51, and charged him with disclosure of state secrets. Mr. Binh had advocated #LaborReform as director general of the legal department at the ministry, especially ratification of International Labor Organization Convention 87, which would guarantee #Vietnamese #workers the right to form independent trade #unions.
