— This is a very disappointing result for Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf. I would even go as far as saying it can be considered a public humiliation.

Qalibaf was insisting on Jalili to withdraw in favor of him. Now, you see why Jalili did not; he's getting more than 3x the vote of Qalibaf.

For someone with such name recognition and a huge political career, this result will have big implications for his future in politics. Especially losing to someone like Saeed Jalili, who is much less experienced.

It also shows a clear sign: Jalili and Qalibaf are both Conservatives, but Jalili is much more of a religious hardliner. The people have definitely spoken.

If Qalibaf had withdrawn in favor of Jalili, who was very obviously leading the polls for the Conservatives, the election would have likely been over in the first round.

🇮🇷/🇺🇳 Iran's Permanent Mission to the United Nations:

'While Iran deems the Zionist regime's threats to launch an attack on Lebanon as psychological warfare, should it embark on full-scale military aggression, an obliterating war will ensue.

All options, including the full involvement of all Resistance Fronts, are on the table.'

🌍 🕊 🇮🇷 Arab League ceases labeling Hezbollah ‘terrorist organization’

⬛️ ‘Designation of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization no longer applies,’ says assistant secretary-general of Arab League

🔶️ In a televised statement on the Egyptian Al-Qahera News Channel the day after he concluded his visit to Beirut, Hossam Zaki said: “In previous Arab League decisions, Hezbollah was designated as a terrorist organization, and this designation was reflected in the resolutions, leading to the severing of communication based on these decisions.”

🔶️ “The member states of the League agreed that the label of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization should no longer be employed,” Zaki said.

🔶️ The official attributed this decision to the fact that "the designation of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization no longer applies," emphasizing that "the Arab League does not maintain terrorist lists and does not actively seek to designate entities in such a manner."

🔶️ On March 11, 2016, the Arab League classified Hezbollah as a "terrorist organization," with reservations from Lebanon and Iraq, and called for it to "cease promoting extremism and sectarianism, refrain from meddling in the internal affairs of countries, and withhold any support for terrorism and terrorists in the region."

🔶️ According to a statement by the Arab League on Friday, Zaki, during his visit that began on Tuesday, held meetings with Lebanese officials, as well as various political and parliamentary leaders representing Lebanon's diverse political spectrum.
