Mr. Rouhani's supporters also expect his victory, with 57 percent of the vote, to
bolster his outreach efforts to the West and the pursuit of more foreign
investment to lift Iran's ailing economy.
For those who voted for Mr. Rouhani, there was a feeling of tremendous relief
that his challenger, the hard-line cleric Ebrahim Raisi, who criticized the
nuclear deal with the United States and other Western powers, had lost.
"Bye-bye, Raisi," the crowds chanted during the street gatherings.
"He faces a difficult task," Fazel Meybodi, a Shiite Muslim cleric from the city of
Qum, said of Mr. Rouhani. "Now he must provide more freedoms, break the
hard-line monopoly on the state-run radio and television, and increase freedom
of press."
To achieve all that, Mr. Rouhani must persuade the hard-line-dominated
judiciary and security forces to change their outlook, Mr. Meybodi said. "If he
fails to deliver on at least 70 percent of those promises, his future is dark," he
added.
For decades, Saudi Arabia and Iran have competed for religious leadership and
political influence across the Muslim world and beyond.
Trump is correct, however, Rouhani needs a chance to act.
