Fazioni principali in Iran

- Riformisti (guidati da Masoud Pezeshkian): favoriscono dialogo con l'Occidente, distensione nucleare e aperture economiche; controllano presidenza e parte del triumvirato provvisorio, puntando a un leader moderato per stabilizzare il paese e ridurre sanzioni.
​

Ultraconservatori: figure dure come Saeed Jalili dominano Guardie Rivoluzionarie (IRGC) e clero.

Ieri #ballottaggio in #Iran. Ha vinto il candidato riformista Pezeshkian. Mentre il riformista #Pezeshkian prometteva un'apertura all'Occidente e un allentamento della legge sul #velo obbligatorio, il suo avversario ultraconservatore #Jalili voleva una linea più chiusa e isolazionista per l'Iran, mantenendo distanze dall'Occidente. La vittoria di Pezeshkian rappresenta quindi un cambio di rotta moderato rispetto alla posizione oltranzista.

Masoud #Pezeshkian, a 69-year-old heart surgeon who wants to revive the nuclear deal with the West, was voted president of #Iran following a snap election that underscored major challenges facing the country’s clerical leadership.

Pezeshkian beat hard-line Islamist Saeed #Jalili, 58, by almost 3 million votes in a runoff that was only marginally better attended than last week’s first round, according to officials.

Iranians head out to vote in second round of presidential election
Iranians vote today in the run-off round of a presidential election offering a choice between
a veteran hardliner and
a reformist who has backed pragmatic cooperation with the west
– but against the backdrop of an expected low turnout that critics say reflects opposition to the Islamic Republic.

Iran’s two identities were on display in the final rallies of the campaign
as the two presidential candidates offered contrasting visions of their country’s prospects, focused on whether sanctions have trapped Iran or are just a broken western lever that can no longer inflict damage to the economy.

The contest has become distilled into an increasingly sharp choice: on the one hand Saeed #Jalili, for two decades close to the centres of power and the 85-year-old supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and on the other Masoud #Pezeshkian
– a reformist outsider with a subtle appeal.

Jalili says Iran has bypassed sanctions.
Pezeshkian and his effective running mate, the former foreign minister Javad #Zarif, claim that sanctions mean Iran has been bypassed.

Jalili’s campaign used the giant Imam Khomeini Mosalla mosque for its final event
– a slick hi-tech cinematic mass rally. From the atmosphere it would have been hard to have known that in the first round of the elections a week ago only 39% voted and Jalili had been beaten into second place with 1m fewer votes than Pezeshkian.

Videos of the Jalili campaign broadcast on six giant screens gave the impression of a leader that is being mobbed and praised wherever he goes,
while mini-drones ran along lines in the ornate roof transmitting footage of the crowd’s enthusiasm as celebrities sang in Jalili’s praise, including a female actor who argued the hijab empowers women.

Hardline candidate Saeed #Jalili and reformist Massoud #Pezeshkian are neck and neck in Iran's presidential election.

Both candidates have been hovering around 40% of the vote with more than eight million ballots already counted,
with each overtaking the other in recent hours.

The election will go to a second round - set for next Friday - if neither Mr Jalili or Mr Pezeshkian win 50% of the vote.

Two security force members were killed after unidentified gunmen attacked a vehicle carrying election boxes in Sistan-Baluchestan province, according to state media reports.
