Iran's moderate presidential candidate congratulated his hardline rival judge Ebrahim Raisi for winning the election, Iranian state media reported on Saturday. The interior ministry noted that votes continue to be counted.

"I hope your government, under the leadership of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, will bring comfort and prosperity to our nation," said former central bank chief Abdolnasser Hemmati in a letter, according to local media.
