- Voters in Iran have chosen a new president. Former health minister Masoud Pezeshkian received well over 2 million votes more than his hardline rival in Friday's runoff. He was the only reform candidate allowed to run -- but his ability to deliver change in the shadow of Iran's Supreme Leader is limited.

How many microphones do you want?
"Yes"
I wish this would help the people of Iran. Love from USA
Jeeesus! How many microphones 🎤! 😅😅😅
Raisi's chopper crash was Iran's best example of fundamental change!
the new appointee knows what at stakes!
Best of luck - Iran has always been a sad story for me, a European, because it's culturally and geographically such an interesting country, and you'd want them to be more of a part of the world you live in, it's like a transition to Asia, a missing link in some ways. Europe would be culturally enriched with a better relationship with Iran.
Why do DW keep interviewing people that have a Negative interest against Iran as experts . I have notice this of DW
Example?
@@blink182bfsftw just go watch DW clips. out of 30 million who voted they find someone in Telaviv to interview
DW is a pro western new media, so what do you expect??.
@@blink182bfsftw to be honest, just look at the people they interviewing as experts and you tell me
DW is a propoganda machinery of far left. They do this to any conservative government in any part of world.

If the supreme leader has the final say, then what is the point of having a president?
Sometimes president have so much support that the leader cannot stand against them. Like 8 years ago when Rouhani signed the necluer deal with the 5+1
The facade of democracy in what is really an authoritarian dictatorship
Don't listen to dumb people who know nothing about Iran. Any observer of Iran over the last 20 years will see the policies of Iran have changed with different presidents. For instance, Ahmedinejad was a hawk who almost instigated war with Israel while Rouhani was a reformer who negotiated the nuclear deal (JPOA). Raisi was a hardliner who refused to offer concessions to rejoin the nuclear deal. This new guy (Masoud) is promising to renegotiate the deal. Domestically, there have been different policies under different presidents.
The Supreme Leader is a pragmatist. He does not overrule the Iranian president or parliament because they represent the will of the people. He knows that if he pisses the people off, there could be a revolution which will overthrow him and his ilk.
The Iranian president has plenty of wiggle-room to create reforms which can bring about positive change in the lives of Iranians. The biggest challenge to Masoud will not come from the Iranian Supreme Leader, it will come from the results of the US elections.
@@polycarp9897 Wow, I didn't realised there are Iranian wumao just like the ccp ones.
When things go wrong, they can blame the president and change the president so that public anger is not directed towards supreme leader
Why is DW adamently persistent in calling Iran an isolated country? The world consists of more countries than just the West.
Because it is isolated 😂😂😂
the vast majority of countries don't make much business/trade with Iran, i'd say they are pretty isolated.
@@TheTwangKingsshalom shlomo, did yehwah isolate Iran 😂😂😂
Yalda Zarbakhch, Head of DW Persian Service is a prime example on why West basically fails at understanding IRAN and its people, they fail by employing people like Zarbakhch as heads and consultants, who have absolutely no idea what is going on in IRAN, such people are often have been so far away from Iran for such long times that they are no longer Iranian and can not follow the emotions and wit of people in Iran. For example, she clearly misses to understand that people happily voted for Pezeshkian, two times in a row even to emphasize their selection, Percentage of the people voting increased in the 2nd time voting for Pezeshkian and these are all beside the very well managed process of election that happened within 50 days of President Raisi's death, considering that in many western countries the overall turnout is often less than 50% too. Unfortunately DW is a biased news network as long as it employees people like Zarbakhch in its persian service, nothing is gonna change, west never understands iran and iranians, they will be always lacking behind in their planning and analysis.
Why UK leadships changed will change nothing 😂😂
That's right British democracy remains a democracy 😊😊😊
@@TheTwangKingsyes thats why the King orders to form a government and appoint PM
Stay away from aircraft, bro.
One of the best experts so far! Great job Yalda 👌
Khamenei scared of protests ,thats why he chose peseshkian
Because it would restore people,s faith in the current government
Don't say nonsense....
Throwing some crumbs to the people. Nothing will actually change.
Iran remains medieval 😂😂😂
Participation was below fifteen percent of the total eligible
Thank you dear Yalda! You explained the situation perfectly! Woman, Life, Freedom. ❤❤❤
a step in the right direction it was
In ruzzia's direction? They must be very, very desperate 😮😮😮
@@TheTwangKings no, in the direction of freedom from fairy tales
It is numbered and the numbers of the first five candidates are multiplied by three and all are multiples of three. Calculate it yourself. The probability of this happening is less than one percent
He got the final one vote?
Poor fella thinks sanctions will be lifted. 😅
عالی❤❤❤❤❤
Super interesting.
Not that I have any hope for this but Gorbachev and Khrushchev were also barely reformists within their system but did enact quite a bit of change. They just bided their time til they could establish their power bases to enact major change within the system, even if they actually believed in the system. LBJ in the US democratic party as well. He was a Southern democrat but totally betrayed them and broke their power once he had his own separate power base. Medvedev tried to be that for Russia but totally failed.
There is always a chance though.
a country run by a priest, its so funny and so 800AD
Same old
He is ARMENIAN: Bjshkian- in Armenian means Doctor.
I just check if that was true, but it wasn't. As always
Pezeshkian was born in Mahabad, West Azerbaijan on 29 September 1954[7] to an Iranian Azerbaijani father and Iranian Kurdish mother.
Pezeshk in persian also means doctor
Not everyone, who has "AN" at the end of his lastname is from armenian😂😂😂 There are milions of people in Iran whit such lastnames: Kolahchian, Akbarian, Babakian, Afsharian and also Pezeshkian😊
People assume things, "supreme leader?"
Just like US the power is in the hand of AIPAC and Uk in the hand of king
Nailed it!
Nonsense
2:36 Regardless +1 UP Democracy
Yalda's analysis was biased and not realistic, she is talking about her opinions and wishes rather than the reality on the ground. Her biggest error is that it doesn't matter who is elected as a president.
How about in the UK is the economy going well? The USA cannot manage its self let alone Iran
+1 UP Democracy
Change the thumbnail...you made his teeth yellow via Photoshop or something....
Iran has plenty of intelligent people to do the job
Like who? Ayatollski? 😂😂😂😂
Israeli intelligence? Couldn't you find anyone else that has not anything to do with genocide of human beings?
How does Humus pay you?
He's the regime's new president; not Iran's. Did you not see the empty voting centers?
60% French and British voters and 50% Iranians cast their votes. 46% of the French cast their votes during the last presidential elections .
Congratulation to Masoud Pezeshkian as elected Iranian President. The Supreme leader should give full mandate to the elected Iranian president, not interfere with the elected Iranian President's decisions in leading Iran, guarantee the safety of the elected Iranian President in implementing changes in Iran.There should be no more imposition of the will of Iran's supreme leader on the elected President of Iran to maintain the clerical regime in Iran. This is what Iran's supreme leader will do if they truly want change in Iran as expected by the majority of the Iranian people.
Pezeshkian can work great for domestic administration and he can talk to Khamenei for policies which are open
He is not real reformist, he just come for cover the brutal face of mullahs regime
Its os nomal for the people no satisfied for leadership anywhere in this planet even usa British... My country Philippines im old now but people are always say leadership are weak poor corruption...
Iran number 1
In suffering
After a reformist win we still say it means ntn...
Bots are super-active in the comments lol
They're so desperate 😭😭😭
His power is limited !!!
HOW ABOUT LIMIT OF NO POWER
U always say Israel is the only democracy in the middle east........!!!!!!!!!
It is
The title “Supreme Leader,” should tell you everything you need to know.
🎉 😊 OMG! Finally someone modern with rizz!!! This looks very promising for good relations with 🇺🇸
Haha flag interests not names 2025
The post on X is in English because it's to the western powers not ppl of iran 😂
We have been waiting and hoping that Khamenei will go away for good but how the eff this guy not only refuses to daee but at 85 years has such a spry step and seems pretty in control of his faculties whereas the 81 year old Biden is completely another story.
I like this man for Iranian😙😃😝😅😂🤣🤣🤣
He will never make change

In Iran the president’s hands are tied from behind by the supreme leader!
DW is that one far right or leftist 😂😂😂
New President, no difference Ayatolla Supreme Leader still total Incharge
It’s not about total power or having a dynasty. The presidents and their underlings decide upon infrastructure developments. Although human rights might change insignificantly, new facilities dedicated to resource accumulation and energy can help the population. Any increases in efficiency within food production also help the affordability of essential goods. Of course, the lion’s share of the capital will remain at the top (everywhere), however, incremental improvements are possible under this new president. His opponent probably would have spent all his efforts building new luxury facilities for the clerics in Qom
His body language shows his state of mind. Just another puppet.
Cope cope 😂
Hahaaa President is useless against the supreme leader lol 😝
