"This election has taken place in accordance with the legal mechanisms provided for in the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran and through the vote and decision of the lawful representatives of the Iranian nation. It reflects a clear manifestation of the independence and national sovereignty of the people of Iran," the statement read.

The embassy further said that the armed forces of the country will continue to strike back against the US and Israel.

"The great nation of Iran has once again demonstrated that it determines its own destiny solely through its own will and decision. The election of His Eminence will further strengthen the unity, strength, and cohesion of the Iranian nation. The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will continue, with renewed determination, their struggle against the criminal American and Zionist regimes.
