Commenting on the election result, the US said it regretted Iranians were "denied their right to choose their own leaders in a free and fair electoral process".
Voter turnout was at a record low for this election, with less than 50% of registered voters going to the polls, compared to more than 70% in 2017. Many people shunned the election, believing that it had been engineered in favour of Mr Raisi, who is a staunch ally of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.Mr Raisi's win has come on the same weekend as negotiations to try and save the Iran nuclear deal continue in Vienna.
Mr Raisi was one of four judges, who became known as the "death committee", who sentenced about 5,000 men and women to death, Amnesty International says. In his tweets, however, Mr Haiat said more than 30,000 people were killed, which is a number also referenced by Iranian human rights groups.Russia's Vladimir Putin was quick to congratulate Ebrahim Raisi, highlighting the "traditionally friendly and good-neighbourly" relationship between the two countries.
