Representatives from a total of 92 countries are slated to partake in the upcoming inauguration ceremony of President-elect Hassan Rouhani.
Leaders and senior politicians from around the world are arriving in the Iranian capital, Tehran, to attend the upcoming ceremony.
Since Thursday, aircraft carrying as many as 30 delegations have touched down in Tehran’s Imam Khomeini and Mehrabad International Airports, with yet more scheduled to arrive.
In May, Rouhani won re-election in a landslide victory after securing 57 percent of the votes.
On Thursday, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei formally endorsed Rouhani as president.
Under Iran’s election law, the president-elect is required to gain the Leader’s official approval before being sworn in before the Parliament (Majlis).
This process, called Tanfiz (validation), the Leader affirms the outcome of the presidential election.
