Most of the Great Satan US hegemonic policies against Iran and the region have failed

Secretary of Iran’s Human Rights Council Mohammad Javad Larijani in a meeting with Swiss Ambassador to Tehran Livia Leu Agosti expressed the hope that the US will leave its hostile policies against Iran.
“Since most of the US hegemonic policies against Iran and the region have failed, including some that we can clearly see like the failures that Americans are experiencing in Afghanistan, we hope that Americans take effective steps to modify their unilateral and hostile policies against our country, ” Larijani said in the meeting in Tehran on Tuesday.

The Swiss embassy represents the US interests in Iran since Tehran and Washington severed diplomatic relations in 1980.

The Swiss envoy, for her part, described the results of the recent presidential election in Iran as surprising, and said, “The election and its results were highly valuable for Iran internationally.”

Millions of Iranians on June 14 went to the polling centers to vote in the country’s 11th presidential and 4th city and village councils elections.

Polling stations opened at 8 am (0330 GMT) June 14 and were scheduled to close at 6:00 pm (1330 GMT) before the Interior Ministry was made to extend the voting hours for several times due to the large voter turnout.

Polling was heavy since the very beginning. Reports from various media outlets said Friday morning that large numbers of people had queued behind closed doors before polling stations opened.

Thousands of additional ballot papers were sent to various Iranian cities after local electoral authorities from different constituencies across the country asked the Interior Ministry to send them more papers due to the unexpectedly large public turnout.

A number of 50,483,192 people were eligible to vote in the elections. 1.6 million youths came to be eligible to vote for the first time in their lives as the voting age in Iran is above 18 according to the law.

The Interior Ministry’s election headquarters said turnout among the electorate was 72.7 percent.

A day later, Iran’s Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar announced that from a total number of 36,704,156 ballots cast in Iran’s 11th presidential election on Friday June 14, Rouhani won 18,613,329 votes while his main rival Mohammad Qalibaf could secure only 6,077,292 votes.
