Iran will hold a run-off election after no candidate won a majority in the first round of the presidential vote.
It came down to a tight race between hardline candidate Saeed Jalili and reformist Massoud Pezeshkian.
Candidates need to win 50% of the vote but the pair both hovered around the 40% mark – each overtaking the other over several hours.
Iran’s interior ministry confirmed the second round is set for 5 July.
The vote is to replace former president Ebrahim Raisi, who died on 19 May when the helicopter he was in crashed into a mountain, with seven other people also killed.
