IRAN’S religious hardliners won most of the remaining seats in an election run-off to give them full control over the country’s parliament, authorities said on Saturday.

Without sharing details of the turnout, the result — and that of the previous vote in March — gives the hardliners 233 of the parliamentary 290 seats.

Religious hardliners seek more cultural and social restrictions based on Islamic sharia law, including demanding that women wear the veil in public.
