Iran president-elect ready for ‘constructive dialogue’ with Europe

Nabila Massrali, a spokeswoman for the European Union, earlier welcomed Pezeshkian on his victory, adding that the 27-member union is “ready to join with the new government in accordance with EU policy of essential wedding.”

Pezeshkian is a brain surgeon, and his only prior work in the state was as health secretary about 20 years earlier.

The vote was not scheduled until 2025 due to the death of authoritarian president Ebrahim Raisi in a plane crash.

Pezeshkian is considered a “reformist” in Iran, and was the only member from that station allowed to stand in the election, for which all finalists were approved by Iran’s Guardian Council.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s high leader, has the ultimate say over the country’s most pressing policy issues.

Iran agreed to end its nuclear program in exchange for the raising of catastrophic international sanctions under the hard-won 2015 agreement.

Iran slowly started reversing its own pledges to the agreement after the US withdrawal and the reimposition of sanctions.

Tehran has always denied that the 2015 agreement with Iran was the best way to prevent the Muslim nation from developing nuclear weapons.

European Union people France and Germany were likewise group to the offer, along with Britain, China and Russia.

Iran accused the Western countries of allegedly failing to stop it despite their best efforts to recover it.
