Hassan Rouhani victory means a shake-up in Iran cabinet
IRAN’S president-elect Hassan Rouhani said yesterday he would appoint ministers from across its political spectrum as voters had chosen moderation over extremism.
His victory this month has brought hope of a thaw in Iran’s relations with the West.
Rouhani has pledged a more conciliatory approach than Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, under whose presidency the Islamic Republic drew punishing international sanctions.
