DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — As Iran's chief nuclear envoy, Hassan Rouhani earned the nickname "diplomat sheikh" when negotiators in 2004 reached a deal that saw the Islamic Republic halt all its enrichment of uranium. Over 10 years later, it would be Rouhani as president who would strike a bargain with world powers to again limit Iran's atomic program, showing once more the cleric's pragmatism in slowly engaging with the West.

COLUMBIA, S.C.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — After Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's electoral victory Saturday, what's next for the Islamic Republic?
