In the second round of voting in Iran's presidential election, reformist candidate Masoud Pezeshkian defeated hardliner Saeed Jalili with a margin of nearly 3 million votes, marking the first time a reformist candidate has won in 23 years. Pezeshkian aims to shift Iran's foreign policy from a hardline anti-US stance to engaging in dialogues with Western countries to lift economic sanctions. This change comes after the unexpected death of former President Ebrahim Raisi, who pursued closer ties with China and Russia. Pezeshkian's victory raises questions about potential changes in Iran's diplomacy and its relationship with the West, as he advocates for renegotiating the nuclear agreement to address the economic challenges imposed by sanctions.
