Recently, the Iranian regime has a new president, Masoud Pezeshkian, in an election boycotted by a staggering 91 percent of the Iranian population. The big question we're exploring today is: will this bring any change for the women of Iran? That's what we'll be delving into in this episode.
Who is Masoud Pezeshkian and what’s his background?
Masoud Pezeshkian, a general surgeon by profession, was born in 1954 in Mahabad, West Azerbaijan. His political career spans several decades, featuring some high-profile positions within the Iranian regime. Before becoming president, he was best known for his role as the Minister of Health under Mohammad Khatami. Pezeshkian has also served five terms in the mullahs’ parliament from 2008 to 2024.
He is referred to as a reformist? Is that true or just a myth?
Well, some people have tried to paint him as a reformist figure. But if you take a closer look at his background, actions, and stances, it tells a different story. He's been a staunch supporter of the regime’s core principles and practices from the start, especially when it comes to women’s freedom of choice. The most telling sign is his proclamation that he won’t change course and will continue the policies of his notorious predecessor, Ebrahim Raisi.
