The Iranian ambassador in Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, reaffirmed that "nothing affects the policy of supporting the resistance and Palestine, as it is one of the fundamental policies of the Islamic Republic." In a statement after casting his vote in the presidential elections at the embassy in Beirut, Mojtaba Amani said, "This is enshrined in the Iranian constitution, our support for the resistance will continue and it will be as clear as it has been for the past 45 years." Voters in Iran are casting their votes today, Friday, in the second round of presidential elections where reformist candidate Masoud Bezhkishan faces off against the conservative former nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili. This election, which held its first round on June 28, was hurriedly organized to select a successor to Ebrahim Raisi, who was killed in a helicopter accident on May 19.
