Khamenei Officially Endorses Masoud Pezeshkian as Iran’s President

Khamenei Officially Endorses Masoud Pezeshkian as Iran’s President

Iran's supreme leader formally confirmed Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian as the country's president on Sunday after winning elections this month by promising a pragmatic foreign policy and easing repression at home.

Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian, a relative moderate who will be sworn in on Tuesday, takes office at a time when tensions are escalating in the Middle East over the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza and Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Iran on Sunday warned its arch-enemy Israel of a new adventure in Lebanon after Israeli authorities blamed Hezbollah for a rocket attack on Saturday that hit a soccer field in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, killing 12 people, and promised a strong response. Hezbollah denied any responsibility for the attack. 

In a ceremony broadcast live on state television, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei gave Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian his endorsement, and in a subsequent speech, the Supreme Leader reiterated Iran's longstanding anti-Israel stance. “The Zionist regime (Israel) is not a state, it is a criminal gang, a murder bank, and a terrorist gang,” Khamenei said in his speech, praising the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas for its resistance to Israel in Gaza.
