PROBLEM: Tehran, Iran (CNN) Preliminary results in Iran's first major election since last year's landmark nuclear deal show reformists poised to take all 30 seats up for grabs in the capital, Tehran, the country's Interior Ministry says. Results from outside the capital also indicated a strong showing by moderate candidates in the high-stakes election, which could shape the future of the country and its relationship with the West. The reformist candidates are overwhelmingly loyal to President Hassan Rouhani, although some are critical of some of his policies.
