In the recent Iranian presidential elections, Masoud Pezeshkian, a reformist politician, unexpectedly won despite facing challenges from the conservative camp. Pezeshkian's victory marks a shift from a hardline anti-West stance to a more reformist approach. His campaign strategy focused on criticizing the conservative camp's foreign policy, with support from figures like Mohammad Javad Zarif. Despite not being an ideal candidate for the reformists, they capitalized on the opportunity to elect Pezeshkian. The election turnout was the lowest in Iran's history, with Pezeshkian defeating his more radical opponent by emphasizing a balanced foreign policy approach.
