Analysts see the results, which confirm preliminary counts, as a political setback for the anti-Western president and a possible sign of public frustration with
Iran's increasing diplomatic isolation and economic woes.

"What both political wings of the country have learned from the election is that the people prefer moderate policies to populist slogans and strategies," the pro-reform Etemad-e Melli daily wrote on Thursday.

Reformists fared well in provincial races, claiming to have taken almost 40 percent of council seats outside Tehran. Women also did better than in previous years, forming almost half of those elected in several city councils
