Latest News about Hassan Rouhani
09/03/2026
Hassan Rouhani emerged as a leading contender in the 2026 Iranian supreme leader election held from 3-8 March 2026, following the assassination of Ali Khamenei on 28 February during the 2026 Iran war. As a Western-educated moderate pragmatist with a track record in nuclear diplomacy, Rouhani was positioned as a potential candidate to balance hardliner dominance in the regime, though Mojtaba Khamenei was ultimately announced as the new supreme leader on 9 March.
