Masoud Pezeshkian to be inaugurated as Iran's president in three weeks

The inauguration of Iranian President-elect Masoud Pezeshkian will take place on July 30, member of the presidium of the Iranian parliament Mojtaba Yousefi said.

"The inauguration ceremony of the president, who [won] the 14th elections, will take place on Tuesday, July 30," Yousefi said.

On July 5, Iranian election headquarters spokesman Mohsen Eslami said that Pezeshkian won the second round of the country's snap presidential election. Pezeshkian won with almost 16.4 million votes, while his opponent Saeed Jalili received 13.5 million votes.

The election was called after President Ebrahim Raisi died in a helicopter crash in Iran's mountainous north in May.
