Rohani set to become Iran's 7th president

None

Mid-ranking cleric Hassan Rohani meets Iran's supreme leader on Saturday to be endorsed as the country's seventh president a day after making controversial comments about the Islamic republic's arch-foe Israel.

 

After his surprise election win in June, the 64-year-old seen as a moderate assumes Iran's highest elected office at a ceremony presided over by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei later Saturday. (AFP)
