Iranians headed to polling stations to vote in presidential elections runoff on Friday, selecting between reformist Masoud Pezeshkian and conservative Saeed Jalili, the front-runners in the first round.
Footage shows Iranian voters going into the Hosseiniyeh Ershad voting venue in Tehran to cast their ballots - including former Iranian interior minister Ali Akbar Natiq Nouri.
According to the local media, the second round of voting will continue for ten hours, with the possibility of an extension if needed.
Official data indicates that 61 million Iranians are eligible to vote in this election, with 59,000 polling stations set up inside the country.
The runoff was triggered after no candidate received more than 50 per cent of the votes on June 28. In the first round Pezeshkian led with 10.4 million - or around 42 per cent - with Jalili close behind on 9.4 million - 39 per cent - of the 24.5 million votes cast.
The elections were called after former president Ebrahim Raisi, foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian and others were killed in a helicopter crash in May.
