Strong turnout in Iran's presidential election
Iranians packed polling stations today in a tight presidential race between a well-known moderate cleric, who became the default choice for reformists, and a hard-liner seeking to reclaim the values of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
The run-off election capped weeks of campaigning that came down to a choice over sharply differing visions for the future of Iran and options for expanding relations with the West. First returns are expected around 10.30pm Irish Time.
