Pezeshkian Elected President After Raisi's Death

News summary

Masoud Pezeshkian has been elected as Iran's new president, succeeding Ebrahim Raisi who died in a helicopter crash. Pezeshkian, a reformist with a background as a health minister, has pledged support for Hezbollah and emphasized Iran's opposition to Israel's actions against Palestinians. His election win has raised hopes for increased social freedoms, better relations with Western countries, and economic reforms. Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Pezeshkian, indicating a continuation of strong bilateral relations. Despite his reformist agenda, Pezeshkian will face significant challenges from Iran's conservative establishment and the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who holds ultimate power. Pezeshkian's victory was marked by a higher voter turnout in the runoff election, reflecting public demand for change.
