Iran’s New Presidency: Shifting Tides or Status Quo?
Manage episode 436603278 series 2987710
Iran’s new president, Masoud Pezeshkian, is deemed a reformist whose “balanced” foreign policy approach may be the answer to Iran’s complex international relations, including ongoing tensions with the West, the Israel-Gaza conflict, and uranium enrichment concerns. While he has been endorsed by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, any West-ward overture by Mr Pezeshkian will require the Supreme Leader’s assent. Tehran’s relations with Russia and China will also complicate any talk about sanctions relief, with a new US administration looming in the background.
Mr Pezeshkian’s presidency should also be measured against the backdrop of public sentiment. The backdrop of a low voter turnout, widespread discontent over Iran’s economic malaise, and recent crackdowns on dissent, pose significant domestic challenges.
What do the recent presidential elections results say about the regime’s legitimacy? What are the implications for succession planning for a new Supreme Leader? Can Mr Pezeshkian’s pragmatic approach improve Iran’s economy while navigating complex international relationships? The Middle East Institute will host a panel of experts to examine the significance of Mr Pezeshkian’s victory, and his vision for Iran’s domestic and foreign policy landscape.
