    Now, the new president just needs to avoid flying on helicopters
  • @TheeDavidDee
    I'm glad to hear a moderate won in Iran, but what exactly does a moderate entail in Iran?
  • @sitindogmas
    people of the world are screaming for change and something better from our leaders
  • @ursaltydog
    This shows that the people DO want change..
  • @justaguy6100
    Good luck Iran! I've had friends who live there I haven't heard from in years. I hope this bodes well for them.

    We could use some reform in the US. That would mean getting rid of the big corporations

    “Seems a very bureaucratic?” what a weird thing to say. 3:16 sounds like a powerless puppet. Unelected radical one and military rule?
  • @mikespector2
    What reforms can he possibly create, when the real power is in the hands of the Supreme Leader?
  • @cmvamerica9011
    As long as you have an Ayatollah; forget moderation.😂

    It's interesting to see that CNN is trying to portraying Iran more military inclined than the USA 😂. Also, 50% attendance in the election is the big dream come true in the United States. So having a brief look at yourself would be nice 😉

    Only one vote counted, guess we know who is who.
