The vote was pronounced in Dr Pezeshkian's approval after he got 53.3% of the in excess of 30 million votes counted. Mr Jalili surveyed at 44.3%.
The pursue off came no up-and-comer got a larger part in the primary round of the political decision on 28 June, which saw a generally low citizen turnout of 40%.
The political decision was called after Iran's past president Ebrahim Raisi was killed in a helicopter crash in May, in which seven others likewise passed on.
Indeed, even before the end-product were proclaimed by Iran's inside service, Dr Pezeshkian's allies had rioted in Tehran and various different urban communities to celebrate.
Recordings posted via web-based entertainment showed generally youngsters moving and waving the mark green banner of his mission, while passing vehicles sounded their horns.
Dr Pezeshkian, a 71-year-old heart specialist and individual from the Iranian parliament, is reproachful of Iran's infamous ethical quality police and created a ruckus subsequent to promising "solidarity and union", as well as a finish to Iran's "confinement" from the world.

The Watchman Board has recently been censured by basic liberties bunches for excluding up-and-comers who are not sufficiently steadfast to the system.
Following quite a while of common turmoil - finishing in enemy of system fights that shook the country in 2022-23 - numerous youthful and working class Iranians profoundly question the foundation and have recently would not cast a ballot.
On Iranian virtual entertainment, the Persian hashtag "double-crossing minority" turned into a web sensation, encouraging individuals not to decide in favor of both of the up-and-comers and calling any individual who did a "swindler".
In any case, Preeminent Pioneer Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has dismissed ideas that the low turnout addresses a dismissal of his standard.
"There are reasons [behind the low turnout] and lawmakers and sociologists will look at them, however on the off chance that anybody feels that the people who didn't cast a ballot are against the foundation, they are obviously off-base," he said.
In an uncommon move, he recognized that a few Iranians don't acknowledge the ongoing system. "We stand by listening to them and we understand what they are talking about and it isn't like they are covered up and not seen," Mr Khamenei said.
