Asked about Iran's missile program and its support of regional militias2, he called the issues "non-negotiable."

Khamenei did not allow reformist candidates to run or those who backed outgoing President Hassan Rouhani.

On the topic of Saudi Arabia, Raisi said that Iran would have "no problem" with a possible reopening of the Saudi Embassy in Tehran.
