In his first press conference since the vote, Mr Rouhani said his government would work towards "constructive interaction with the world".

He saluted what he called "passionate young Iranians" and said he would not forget his election promises.

Mr Rouhani, a long-standing political figure in Iran, won just more than 50% of the vote in Friday's election.
