"The Iranian people has one again shown that it possesses an extraordinary vitality in the face of challenges and that it is determined to impose its choice in the presidential election and in the affairs of state," Hezbollah's terrorist master, Sheikh Naim Qassem, said.

"The big success of the election was the size of the turnout, which shows the Iranian people's independence of mind and its determination to confront its enemies, particularly US plans to destablize Iran," Qassem said in a statement for Iran's official IRNA news agency.

"The enthusiasm which accompanied the election campaign shows the great Islamic freedom of choice," he said, rejecting US complaints that the poll was "flawed".

Backed by Iran and Syria in its long campaign of resistance to Israel's 22-year occupation of south Lebanon, Hezbollah muslim terrorists face a UN Security Council resolution, sponsored by the United States and France last September, that demands the disarmament of its military wing.

Hezbollah militiamen still patrol the south to the exclusion of the Lebanese army.
