After a significant election opponent told the Iranian president-elect that he would be prepared to meet with the US president, he rejected a meeting with President Joe Biden.

Ebrahim Raisi was elected on Friday in a landslide to receive sixty-two percent of the vote by the conservative Iranian cleric and Chief Justice of Iran.

Raisi had previously excluded all conceivable discussions with President Joe Biden when he was due to take office only in August, and answered Monday questions concerning a meeting of this nature with a simple word answer: 'No.'

In the 1988 mass executions, which caused some to nickname Raisi the "butcher of Tehran," Raisi defended his role as well. Around five thousand people have been slaughtered in the murders that detractors label political prisoners' cleansing. Raisi was part of a "death panel," which condemned in mass executions people to death.

Raisi said Monday "I advocate human rights, and I'm going to continue."
