In the first reaction from Washington to ultraconservative cleric Ebrahim Raisi's election win, a State Department spokesperson said "Iranians were denied their right to choose their own leaders in a free and fair electoral process."
The spokesperson also said the United States would continue negotiations over Iran's nuclear program, working alongside allies and partners.
