Decisively re-elected, Rouhani defies hardliners, pledges to open Iran - NY Daily News

"Thousands of people gathered in central Tehran to celebrate Rouhani's victory."

'But by publicly thanking "my dear brother, Mohammad Khatami" in his victory speech, Rouhani seemed to take up that mantle. '

'A Raisi victory would have probably ensured that the next supreme leader was a hardliner. ', "Some said the pattern was all too familiar from Rouhani's first victory four years ago and Khatami's victories the previous decade."

'And it delivers a setback to the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), the powerful security force which controls a vast industrial empire in Iran. '
