Cautious optimism about the victory of doctors at the international level

In an analysis of the 14th Iranian presidential election, the American Newsweek reported that the victory of Masoud Baznashr at the international level was met with cautious optimism.

In an analysis of the 14th Iranian presidential election, the website of the American publication Newsweek wrote: “The victory of Masoud Medeshian in the Iranian presidential election over Saeed Jalili, a conservative (fundamentalist) competitor at the international level, with cautious optimism about what this victory means for cold relations Tehran has faced the West.”

Referring to the role of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, Supreme Leader of the Revolution in the system of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Newsweek quoted a regional expert and wrote that medicine can bring about “important changes” in Iran’s foreign policy.

This American media continued: The victory of the doctors takes place in the context of the progress of the nuclear program, the American elections, which can affect how the Iran-Washington nuclear deal is revived.

Trita Parsi, vice president of the Quincy Institute affiliated with the Responsible Statecraft organization, told Newsweek that it is unlikely that the doctors and her team will make a big change in Iran’s regional policies. But he may adopt a “more visible and regionally oriented diplomatic strategy,” which could include the Gaza war between Israel and the Tehran-backed Hamas group.

He said that the doctors will also probably bring back the foreign policy team that negotiated the JCPOA between 2013 and 2021 during the presidency of then President Hassan Rouhani.

Regarding the doctors’ statements that tensions with the West should be resolved through direct negotiations rather than through mediators, he continued: “Some important changes in Iran’s foreign policy are likely. These statements of doctors were announced in the context of Trump’s victory in the elections. “If the Iranians agree to engage directly with the United States even with Trump as president, that would be a significant change.”

Parsi added: “However, this in itself will not revive the Iran nuclear deal. Key factors have changed in both the US and Iran, making the old deal unattractive to both sides, but there may now be political will, at least on the Iranian side, for a new deal.

Parsi said: “But even if the JCPOA cannot be revived, there may still be other arrangements that America and Iran can pursue.”

In the end, this American media said: However, the country’s strategic orientation in foreign and domestic policy, especially in the case of negotiations with America, is determined by the Supreme Leader.

The second stage of the 14th presidential election cycle was held on Friday, July 15, 1403 across the country, and Masoud Mezikian was elected as the ninth president with 16 million 384 thousand 403 votes against Saeed Jalili’s 13 million 538 thousand 179 votes. Islamic Iran was chosen by the people.
