On July 5, Iran took a decisive step toward potential transformation with the election of Masoud Pezeshkian, a prominent figure from the liberal wing of the Iranian elite. Pezeshkian's victory in the repeated presidential elections, where he was the only reformer among six candidates, marks a significant shift in the political landscape. The election results, with a higher voter turnout of 49.8% and 53.6% of the popular vote favoring Pezeshkian over ultraconservative Saeed Jalili, reflect a conscious desire for change among the Iranian populace.
