DUBAI—Ebrahim Raisi, a hardline judge who is under U.S. sanctions for human rights abuses, secured victory as expected on June 19 in Iran’s presidential election, in a contest marked by voter apathy over economic hardships and political restrictions.
With all 28.9 million ballots counted, Raisi was elected with a tally of 17.9 million, Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli said on state TV.
