Iran's presidential elections were announced on June 28 after President Ebrahim Raisi's tragic demise in a helicopter crash on May 19. Raisi's sudden death had triggered a race among hardliners to influence the selection of Iran's next leader.
A US official said the UN should not memoralise Iran's decades-long oppressor, citing Raisi's infamous role in executing thousands of political prisoners in 1988. Raisi was killed along with his foreign minister and other officials during a helicopter crash on May 19.
During his first speech in the Iranian Parliament, Mokhber praised Raisi's time in office, noting that Iran's crude oil production — a key source of hard currency for the country — climbed to more than 3.6 million barrels a day.

Thousands of people walked through the Iranian city of Tabriz on Tuesday to honour Raisi, his foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and others killed in the helicopter. Raisi, 63, was a hardline leader tipped to become Iran's next Supreme Leader after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran and Israel are bitter enemies, waging a shadow war for decades that broke open into a tit-for-tat drone and missile attacks last month, escalating tensions in the Middle East. These tensions have fuelled speculation of Israel's involvement in Ebrahim Raisi's tragic death on Sunday.
Raisi's untimely death has prompted speculation on global markets as Iran is a major oil-producing country. However, experts believe his death won't have a significantly debilitating effect as all state matters are controlled by Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The helicopter crash involving Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, the nation's foreign minister, and other officials is poised to have significant repercussions throughout the Middle East.
