Fazioni principali in Iran
- Riformisti (guidati da Masoud Pezeshkian): favoriscono dialogo con l'Occidente, distensione nucleare e aperture economiche; controllano presidenza e parte del triumvirato provvisorio, puntando a un leader moderato per stabilizzare il paese e ridurre sanzioni.
Ultraconservatori: figure dure come Saeed Jalili dominano Guardie Rivoluzionarie (IRGC) e clero.

Masoud #Pezeshkian, a 69-year-old heart surgeon who wants to revive the nuclear deal with the West, was voted president of #Iran following a snap election that underscored major challenges facing the country’s clerical leadership.
Pezeshkian beat hard-line Islamist Saeed #Jalili, 58, by almost 3 million votes in a runoff that was only marginally better attended than last week’s first round, according to officials.
Reformist #Pezeshkian wins #Iran’s presidential runoff election, defeating hard-liner #Jalili by promising to reach out to the West and ease enforcement on the country’s mandatory #headscarf law.
He still holds Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali #Khamenei as the final arbiter of all matters of state.
Reformist candidate Masoud Pezeshkian has won Iran’s runoff presidential election, besting hard-liner Saeed Jalili. Pezeshkian has promised 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. He also said there would be no radical changes to Iran’s Shiite theocracy, 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, among other challenges. 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.
Iranians head out to vote in second round of presidential election
Iranians vote today in the run-off round of a presidential election offering a choice between
a veteran hardliner and
a reformist who has backed pragmatic cooperation with the west
– but against the backdrop of an expected low turnout that critics say reflects opposition to the Islamic Republic.
Iran’s two identities were on display in the final rallies of the campaign
as the two presidential candidates offered contrasting visions of their country’s prospects, focused on whether sanctions have trapped Iran or are just a broken western lever that can no longer inflict damage to the economy.
The contest has become distilled into an increasingly sharp choice: on the one hand Saeed #Jalili, for two decades close to the centres of power and the 85-year-old supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and on the other Masoud #Pezeshkian
– a reformist outsider with a subtle appeal.
Jalili says Iran has bypassed sanctions.
Pezeshkian and his effective running mate, the former foreign minister Javad #Zarif, claim that sanctions mean Iran has been bypassed.
Jalili’s campaign used the giant Imam Khomeini Mosalla mosque for its final event
– a slick hi-tech cinematic mass rally. From the atmosphere it would have been hard to have known that in the first round of the elections a week ago only 39% voted and Jalili had been beaten into second place with 1m fewer votes than Pezeshkian.
Videos of the Jalili campaign broadcast on six giant screens gave the impression of a leader that is being mobbed and praised wherever he goes,
while mini-drones ran along lines in the ornate roof transmitting footage of the crowd’s enthusiasm as celebrities sang in Jalili’s praise, including a female actor who argued the hijab empowers women.

Majid Asgaripour/File PhotoDUBAI - Saeed Jalili, a zealous ideologue loyal to Iran's supreme leader, plans to resolve the country's social, political and economic ills by adhering rigidly to the hardline ideals of the 1979 Islamic Revolution if he wins the country's presidential election.
