Masoud Pezeshkian's visit to New York marks a potential shift in Iran-West relations, yet he grapples with formidable ideological and geopolitical constraints, insisting on a more collaborative approach.
Pezeshkian challenges the West's double standards, stating, 'We do not wish to be the cause of instability in the Middle East,' while accusing Israel and the US of being the true provocateurs.
Encouraging consensus and emphasizing reform, Pezeshkian, a heart surgeon turned president, remarks, 'I will resign if I feel I am not having any impact reforming my country.'
His delegation included key figures from the 2015 nuclear deal, indicating a willingness to engage, yet he confronts strong conservative opposition in Iran, complicating efforts for reform.
