Iran announces initial results of the parliamentary election

Early unofficial results have begun to come in after Iranians finished voting in parliamentary elections for the country's 290-seat assembly. State media reported on major wins for supporters of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader. The Islamic Republic's conservative leaders called on people to vote in legislative elections for the "security of the country", while reformists who accused authorities of fraud in 2009 called on their supporters to boycott. The official vote turnout will be announce on Monday.
