Hassan Rouhani has won re-election as Iran's president in a landslide, meaning that it is he who will be dealing with an antagonistic US President Donald Trump. What will their relationship mean for the 2015 international agreement that has, for now, frozen Iran's nuclear ambitions? The Iranian nuclear deal was the culmination of a decades-long pas de deux between the United States and post-revolutionary Iran - a push and pull, in which every step forward was seemingly followed by a step back.
President Hassan Rouhani, who won re-election on Saturday, has spent three decades at the heart of Iran's revolutionary establishment but still faces opposition from hardliners for trying to rebuild ties with the West.

State television Saturday declared Rouhani the victor of the presidential vote, easily beating out his closest opponent, hardline cleric Ebrahim Raisi.

Donald Trump's ratings soar in Iranian media too In more than one campaign speech, President elect Donald Trump declared that his number priority was "to dismantle the disastrous deal" with Iran, which he said was "the worst deal ever" He was referring to the 2015 accord negotiated with Iran by the 5P+1 , which the Obama administration presented as putting the lid on Iran's nuclear weapons program.
