DUBAI, Aug 5 — Hardline Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi took the oath of office before parliament today, with the Islamic Republic’s clerical rulers facing growing crises at home and abroad.

“In the presence of the holy Koran and before the nation, I swear to the omnipotent God to safeguard the official religion of the country and the Islamic Republic as well as the country’s constitution,” Raisi told parliament and foreign dignitaries in a ceremony broadcast live on state television. Iran has been negotiating with six major powers to revive a 2015 nuclear deal abandoned three years ago by then US President Donald Trump, who said it was too soft on Tehran.

Iranian and Western officials have said significant gaps remain in the nuclear talks and have yet to announce when the talks will resume.
