Pezeshkian's victory over hard-liner Saeed Jalili marks a potential shift in Iran's domestic and foreign policy, with promises of outreach to the West and easing social restrictions.
- Pezeshkian secured 53.3% of the vote in a runoff election, defeating Jalili's 44.3%.
- The election follows the sudden death of former President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash.
- Pezeshkian aims to ease enforcement of Iran's mandatory headscarf law and improve relations with Western nations.
