In this campaign, Pezeshkian’s advocates have sought to contrast him against the alleged Taliban policies of Jalili.  

Who is Masoud Pezeshkian, Iran's new President elect?

In this campaign, Pezeshkian&rsquo;s advocates have sought to contrast him against the alleged Taliban policies of Jalili. &nbsp;

Pezeshkian was born Sept. 29, 1954, in Mahabad in northwestern Iran to an Azeri father and a Kurdish mother. He speaks Azeri and has long focused on the affairs of Iran&rsquo;s vast minority ethnic groups. Like many, he served in the Iran-Iraq war, sending medical teams to the battlefront.&nbsp; He became a heart surgeon and served as the head of the Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. However, personal tragedy shaped his life after a 1994 car crash killed his wife, Fatemeh Majidi, and a daughter. The doctor never remarried and raised his remaining two sons and a daughter alone.&nbsp;
Pezeshkian entered politics first as the country&rsquo;s deputy health minister and later as the health minister under the administration of reformist President Mohammad Khatami.&nbsp;
Almost immediately, he found himself involved in the struggle between hard-liners and reformists, attending the autopsy of Zahra Kazemi, a freelance photographer who held both Canadian and Iranian citizenship. She was detained while taking pictures at a protest at Tehran&rsquo;s notorious Evin Prison, was tortured and died in custody.&nbsp;
In 2006, Pezeshkian was elected as a lawmaker representing Tabriz. He later served as a deputy parliament speaker and backed reformist and moderate causes, though analysts often described him more as an &ldquo;independent&rdquo; than allied with the voting blocs. That independent label also has been embraced by Pezeshkian in the campaign.&nbsp;
Yet Pezeshkian at the same time honored Iran&rsquo;s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, on one occasion wearing its uniform to parliament. He repeatedly criticized the United States and praised the Guard for shooting down an American drone in 2019, saying it &ldquo;delivered a strong punch in the mouth of the Americans and proved to them that our country will not surrender.&rdquo;&nbsp; &nbsp; In 2011, Pezeshkian registered to run for president, but withdrew his candidacy. In 2021, he found himself and other prominent candidates barred from running by authorities, allowing an easy win for Raisi.&nbsp; In this campaign, Pezeshkian&rsquo;s advocates have sought to contrast him against the &ldquo;Taliban&rdquo; policies of Jalili.
His campaign slogan is &ldquo;For Iran,&rdquo; a possible play on the popular song by the Grammy Awarding-winning Iranian singer-songwriter Shervin Hajipour called &ldquo;Baraye,&rdquo; or &ldquo;For&rdquo; in English. Hajipour has been sentenced to more than three years in prison over his anthem for the Amini protests.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Reformist Pezeshkian wins Iran's presidential runoff election, besting hard-liner Jalili

Supporters of Pezeshkian, a heart surgeon and longtime lawmaker, entered the streets of Tehran and other cities.

Reformist candidate Masoud Pezeshkian won Iran's runoff presidential election Saturday, besting hard-liner Saeed Jalili by promising to reach out to the West and ease enforcement on the country's mandatory headscarf law after years of sanctions and protests squeezing the Islamic Republic.
Pezeshkian promised no radical changes to Iran's Shiite theocracy in his campaign and long has held Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as the final arbiter of all matters of state in the country. But even Pezeshkian's modest aims will be challenged by an Iranian government still largely held by hard-liners, the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip, and Western fears over Tehran enriching uranium to near-weapons-grade levels.
A vote count offered by authorities put Pezeshkian as the winner with 16.3 million votes to Jalili's 13.5 million in Friday's election.
Supporters of Pezeshkian, a heart surgeon and longtime lawmaker, entered the streets of Tehran and other cities before dawn to celebrate as his lead grew over Jalili, a hard-line former nuclear negotiator.
But Pezeshkian's win still sees Iran at a delicate moment, with tensions high in the Mideast over the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip, Iran's advancing nuclear program, and a looming U.S. election that could put any chance of a detente between Tehran and Washington at risk.
The first round of voting June 28 saw the lowest turnout in the history of the Islamic Republic since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Iranian officials have long pointed to turnout as a sign of support for the country's Shiite theocracy, which has been under strain after years of sanctions crushing Iran's economy, mass demonstrations and intense crackdowns on all dissent.
Government officials up to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei predicted a higher participation rate as voting got underway, with state television airing images of modest lines at some polling centers across the country.
However, online videos purported to show some polls empty while a survey of several dozen sites in the capital, Tehran, saw light traffic amid a heavy security presence on the streets.
The election came amid heightened regional tensions. In April, Iran launched its first-ever direct attack on Israel over the war in Gaza, while militia groups that Tehran arms in the region &mdash; such as the Lebanese Hezbollah and Yemen's Houthi rebels &mdash; are engaged in the fighting and have escalated their attacks.
Iran is also enriching uranium at near weapons-grade levels and maintains a stockpile large enough to build several nuclear weapons, should it choose to do so. And while Khamenei remains the final decision-maker on matters of state, whichever man ends up winning the presidency could bend the country's foreign policy toward either confrontation or collaboration with the West.
The campaign also repeatedly touched on what would happen if former President Donald Trump, who unilaterally withdrew America from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018, won the November election. Iran has held indirect talks with President Joe Biden's administration, though there's been no clear movement back toward constraining Tehran's nuclear program for the lifting of economic sanctions.
More than 61 million Iranians over the age of 18 were eligible to vote, with about 18 million of them between 18 and 30. Voting was to end at 6 p.m. but was extended until midnight to boost participation.
The late President Ebrahim Raisi, who died in a May helicopter crash, was seen as a prot&eacute;g&eacute; of Khamenei and a potential successor as supreme leader.
Still, many knew him for his involvement in the mass executions that Iran conducted in 1988, and for his role in the bloody crackdowns on dissent that followed protests over the 2022 death of Mahsa Amini, a young woman detained by police over allegedly improperly wearing the mandatory headscarf, or hijab.&nbsp;

Iran&rsquo;s hard-line judiciary chief, Ebrahim Raisi, won the country&rsquo;s presidential election in a landslide victory on Saturday. Raisi took an unassailable lead in the presidential election after 90 percent of the votes were counted.&nbsp;Interestingly, voting in the Presidential election saw the lowest turnout in the Islamic Republic&rsquo;s history.&nbsp;
Raisi, a prot&eacute;g&eacute; of Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei. He will take office in August as Iran seeks to salvage its tattered nuclear deal with major powers and free itself from punishing US sanctions, that have led to a sharp economic downturn. 
72-year-old outgoing President Hassan Rouhani, served two consecutive four-year-terms allowed under the Iranian constitution.
