MAKE NO MISTAKE. The rantings and LIES of the illegitimate criminal occupant of the @whitehouse @realdonaldtrump, his INSANE national security advisor John Bolton, and the equally reprehensible @secpompeo toward Iran 🇮🇷, threatening “war” like a drunken sailor in a barroom brawl, only harms the people of Iran and strengthens their leadership. The MAJORITY of Americans do not support this ill advised action by the Russian owned criminals in the Trump regime. We want FREEDOM for the people of Iran 🇮🇷 not a confrontation in a veiled attempt to steal Iran’s oil. The #IranNuclearDeal was canceled because imbecile Trump was and is jealous of President @BarackObama’s many successes. Nothing more. The rest of this “crisis” is insane John Bolton LYING about Intelligence reports to provoke a confrontation. Cooler heads must prevail. Trump and his criminal regime must go. #Repost @centerforhumanrights ・・・ Reza Shahabi is a trade unionist who has been imprisoned in Iran on political charges for peacefully advocating workers' rights.

From wildfires in the US to elections in Iran, Al Jazeera showcases the week in images.

Tens of thousands of Iranians are celebrating their next president - Hassan Rouhani. The moderate cleric who is backed by reformists, overwhelmingly beat his hardline rivals - securing just over 50 percent of the vote and so avoiding the need for a run-off.

Figures show moderate cleric with lead of more than 50 percent in presidential election based on early results.

Presidential candidate Hassan Rouhani's 30-minute documentary on state TV has captured voters' attention just days before the election. For the most part, though, there are reports of apathy and disillusionment among voters. For more election coverage, check out Iran Pulse.
