Hassan Rouhani (Persian: حسن روحانی;[note 1] born Hassan Fereydoun,[note 2] 12 November 1948)[7][8] is an Iranian politician who served as the seventh president of Iran from 2013 to 2021. He is also a sharia lawyer ("Wakil"),[9] academic, former diplomat and Islamic cleric. He served as a member of Iran's Assembly of Experts from 1999[10] to 2024.[11] He was a member of the Expediency Council from 1991 to 2013,[12] and also was a member of the Supreme National Security Council from 1989 to 2021.[3][13] Rouhani was deputy speaker of the fourth and fifth terms of the Parliament of Iran (Majlis) and Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council from 1989 to 2005.[3] In the latter capacity, he was the country's top negotiator with the EU three, UK, France, and Germany, on nuclear technology in Iran, and has also served as a Shia mujtahid (a senior cleric),[14] and economic trade negotiator.[15][16]: 138
On 7 May 2013, Rouhani registered for the presidential election that was held on 14 June 2013.[17] He campaigned on promises to restore the economy, improve rocky relations with Western nations, and prepare a "civil rights charter" if elected.[18] He also expressed official support for upholding the rights of ethnic and religious minorities.[19] He was elected as President of Iran on 15 June, defeating Tehran mayor Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and four other candidates;[20][21][22] he took office on 3 August 2013.[23] In 2013, Time magazine named him in its list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World.
Rouhani is frequently described as a centrist and reformist. In domestic policy, he encourages personal freedom, free access to information, and has improved women's rights by appointing female foreign ministry spokespeople. He has also improved Iran's diplomatic relations with other countries through exchanging conciliatory letters.[24][25][26] Rouhani won re-election in the 2017 election with 23,636,652 votes (57.1%).[27] He became the third Iranian President, after Mohammad Khatami and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to win a presidential victory as an incumbent with an increased electoral mandate.
Although Rouhani originally had the support of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei during his second term, their relationship soured as Khamenei criticized Rouhani for presumably being too soft in negotiations with the West over the Iran nuclear agreement. After his second term, Rouhani was not appointed to any senior role by Khamenei.[28]
