Iranians deserve better I hope their new leader is for the people allows them to prosper and promote peace
He's the president not the Ayatollah so his power is minimal.
Nothing will change. It will take a revolution.
The only country with real independence. They have their own system of government and not the imported one from the west. And we should only talk about our own system of government
Iran has an ancient legacy to be proud of, and they shouldn't be pigeonholed by hardline Islam. They are a world power.
@@dalisozulu1855well you aren’t talking about your own government system since you aren’t in Iran.
So first of all you need to be consistent and apply to yourself what you preach and not speak about the political system in Iran.
Secondly the « imported system from the west » you speak about is called democracy.
Something you have never heard of before obviously.
Finally if you believe theocracies to be superior to democracies in terms of freedom you are obviously in favor of fascisme.
Please refrain front commenting about politics before you read a couple books on the subject.
Have a good day Mamadou.
I'll take any good news for Iran, those people deserve better.
I had the dubious privlege of attending training with Iranian Airmen at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas in the early-mid 1970s. I was 'inspired to inquire' as events evolved over succeeding years. I have concluded that the Iranian 'proletariat' would align themselves with Western systems of government absent legacy 'support' from Moscow which sustains a duplicitous / disingenuous hierarchy.
Anyone who knows anything about Iran knows that the president in Iran is about as influential in Iran's affairs as is Karine Jean-Pierre the White House press secretary in the U.S. affairs.
Iran is run by the supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei who runs the country with absolute control over every aspect of the country's foreign and internal affairs. The election of the president is meant to provide a facade of democracy for the benefit of muzzling cries of tyranny from other well meaning countries. The only question that should be asked by the election of a reformist president is how this plays into any upcoming plans being formulated by the supreme leader and his office.
It's sad to see a respectable organization like the WSJ choosing a heading that is sure to mislead anyone unfamiliar with Iranian politics.
True true! Thank you
useless election really was my thought
At least they have a leader as opposed to the US, like no one knows who is really calling the shots. So much for secular representative democracy.
So, somewhat
@@iorr98 The supreme leader is in effect a slave to corrupt elements supporting his power for the purpose of siphoning the Iranian wealth into safe havens provided by cash loving Western countries. I have a hard time imagining the supreme leader having the freedom to change Iran's current course even if he wanted to.
Word of Advice: I dont suggest you get into a plane with him, ever
LOL LOL ! Or Walk beside him.
just like you should never go for a ride in a convertible??!!🤣🤣

First of all he is not reformist as he mentioned himself. Second issue he is not first one in past two decade ? The former president mr Hassan rohani was officially reformist and he ended presidency 3 years ago .
Let's pray for a return of sanity! And peace! Without murder, corruption and religion interfering with government. Hey! I can dream, right?
Would love to see that for the people of Iran...
Their biggest issue is foreign interferences, has been since at least the last two centuries. You can't judge a country's internal affairs when it is constantly meddled with by outsiders.
It's not foreign interference it's corruption and religion in government exactly as they said before.
If only we could say the same for America😢
He's not in control. You guys are misled by the media. Iran is controlled by their supreme leader not their president.
Nothing there will change.
If this were an American election I'd agree 100%. Who knows though maybe the Iranians do democracy better
Change is the only constant
@@nickjohnson3619gawd bless Murica 🤓🖕
So what you're telling me is that the ex-president didn't die in the mountainous region by accident?
@@Gq85-ui8ho l think not .The will do as they please never think the people are really free
Prayers for new leader in Iran! May peace be with you!
Prayers for him indeed. Pray that the Ayatollah Assaholah doesn't have him thrown off a roof.
Tots and pears 🍐
This is a great day for Iran. To surpass Ebrahim Raisi's legacy for upholding the Persian empire is no task that will go unrewarded in the name of the most gracious and merciful. Masoud's leadership will bring great honor to the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
Our Proud, Our New President Pezeshkian from Iran. He has been a Full professor of Medical school, Heart Surgeon, and parliament representative for 15 years,. 💞💞💞💞💞
Iranian regime's bot just like Putin's bots across the web!
خداوندا! ایران را از هر مجازاتی نجات دهید و از همه ایرانیان و مسلمانان در برابر بی ابرویی محافظت کنید! اوه خدا! اجازه ندهید هیچ سرباز خارجی وارد ایران شود! اوه خالق ما! اجازه ندهید که ما در دست نیروهای خارجی مانند افغانستان یا عراق یا بوسنی یا سوریه یا فلسطین رنج بکشیم! ای یار مهربان و بخشنده ما! نگذارید یک فرد حریص یا منافق بر ایران حکومت کند یا ایرانیان را نابود کند! اوه خدا! بگذارید ایران یک رهبر خداترس داشته باشد که از ایران در برابر خارجیها محافظت کند و بگذارید رهبران ما ایرانیان را با افتخار و کرامت و تقوا و عفت زندگی کنند! خدایا! اجازه ندهید هیچ نظامی اشغالگر وارد ایران شود و اجازه ندهید ملت بیگانه بر ایران حکومت کند! خدایا اجازه نده کسی از کشور ما و سربازان ما برای نابودی کشورهای همسایه ما استفاده کند! خدایا ایران را حفظ کن و در اسلام بمانیم و از شریف ترین دین پیروی کنیم! آه سازنده ما! نگذارید هیچ سربازی به زنان ایرانی بی حرمتی کند! خدایا نگذار هیچ سرباز خارجی زن ایرانی را تحقیر کند! چه اتفاقی افتاده برای مومنانی که مدام سعی در تحقیر خود دارند. اسلام زنان را گرامی میدارد. زنان مسلمان مادران بهشت هستند. بعنوان مسلمان، هرگز نباید با سایر مسلمانان با بی احترامی رفتار کنیم، حتی اگر فرد بخواهد به دلایلی آلوده وتحقیر شود. در واقع، اگر با زن یا شوهر خود را در تخیلات جنسی زیاده روی کنید، فکر می کنید پس از مرگ شماچه اتفاقی می افتد؟ چنین عادت هایی از بین نمی روند و او دیوانه می شود که به سراغ فرد دیگری برود که بتواند خواسته ها را برآورده کند. لازم به یادآوری است که ما برای مدت بسیار کوتاهی در این دنیا هستیم و هدف ما لذت بردن از لذت های دنیوی و شهوات نفسانی نیست، بلکه عبادت خداوند است. خداوند وظیفه خاصی را در زندگی به مسلمانان داده است و آن تنها عبادت خداوند است و این به معنای زیاده روی در لذت های دنیوی، از جمله گذراندن ساعات بیهوده در جمع افراد جنس مخالف، حتی اگرهمسر حلال باشد، نیست. تفریط در روابط جسمی و جنسی روح انسان را از بین می برد. حتی اگر در ازدواج قانونی این تفریط وجود داشته باشد، این یک تجمل است و افراد تجملی بیش از حد به آن افراط میکنند و به شدت از آن رنج میبرند. حتی اگر فردی قند زیادی بخورد، به دیابت مبتلا می شود. مسلمانان در سراسر جهان به دلیل این بیماری جنسی مورد توهین و رنج قرار می گیرند. من نمی توانم شنیدن اصطلاحات تخصصی از زبان افراد نادان را که در مورد فعالیت های جنسی صحبت می کنند و از سنت های نبوی برای ترویج اصول نادرست استفاده می کنند، تحمل کنم. وقتی می بینم مردم از اسلام برای برآوردن خواسته های خود استفاده می کنند عصبانی می شوم. ازدواج و رابطه جنسی هرگز هدف زندگی مسلمانان نیست. عشق به خدا مهم است. حتی اگر کسی ازدواج را ضروری بداند، نباید همه را متقاعد کند که ازدواج کنند فقط به این دلیل که ما فکر می کنیم درست است. مریم دختر عمران مجرد بود. خداوند آنها را دوست داشت. افراط در هر نوع لذتی برای انسان مضر است. مؤمنان برای خوشگذرانی به این دنیا فرستاده نشدند. ما آفریده شده ایم تا خدا و رسولش را عبادت و اطاعت کنیم. پیامبر ما حضرت محمد (صلی الله علیه و آله و سلم) بر اساس این اصل زندگی می کرد و با اینکه می توانست با تجارت زیاد ثروتمند شود، ترجیح داد تا زمان مرگ در فقر بماند. به دلیل زیاده خواهی خودمان و پیروی از رویه غیرمسلمانان و اشتیاق فراوان در فعالیت های جنسی، هزاران جوان عربستانی، جوان کویتی و پاکستانی، زن و مرد قطری، کارآفرینان مسن از عمان و بحرین و حتی دانشمندان از اندونزی و مالزی، آفریقا و هند، اکنون در برنامههای بازجویی CIA در دوره بوش که تا به امروز در بسیاری از کشورهای اروپایی مخفیانه عمل میکند، به شدت شکنجه میشوند. ای صاحب جان ما که روزی باید پیشش برگردیم، اجازه نده سربازان یا جاسوسان بیگانه ملت ما را نابود کنند یا بین ما یا همسایگانمان جنگ راه بیندازند. ای بخشنده! ما را ببخش و از دست ما عصبانی نباش! به راستی که خدایا تو ما را خیلی بیشتر از دیگران دوست داری! خدایا! ایران را از هر عذابی نجات ده و همه ایرانیان و مسلمانان را از شرارت حفظ کن! خدایا! اجازه ندهید هیچ سرباز خارجی وارد ایران شود! ای خالق ما! نگذارید در دست نیروهای خارجی مانند افغانستان یا عراق یا بوسنی یا سوریه یا فلسطین رنج ببریم! خدایا! اجازه ندهید هیچ نظامی اشغالگر وارد ایران شود و اجازه ندهید ملت بیگانه بر ایران حکومت کند! ما را ببخش ای خالق هستی و نگذار هیچ سرباز خارجی ایرانیان یا مردمش را تحقیر کند! پاسداری از ناموس هر زن ایرانی و پاسداری از نسل ایرانیان! ای خالق مهربان! اگر شما به ما کمک نکنید یاوری نداریم! اجازه ندهید که ما را در هیچ گناهی که موجب عذاب یا آبروی ما یا خانواده ما شود، گرفتار شویم!
iran looks like a nice place
Congratulations all of Iran from America. Let us make peace, prosperity and a better world for our children 🙏!
Long live Pezashkian❤ Long live Iran 🇮🇷✌️
Best wishes to the Iranian people. They deserve a chance at living in a more sane country.
what chance????? NOTHING HAS CHANGED. PLEASE USE YOUR BRAIN.
So do Americans
@@icaruscrane8846gawd bless Murica 🤓🖕
Not the most powerful position in Iran, but a great step and something that represents the will of the people. I wish them the best.
I hope that this President restores peace in that region and separates religion from politics.
You want him to take a helicopter ride like the last guy?
Hope is not a plan
@@observer8736 never gonna happen
He might consider reforming their helicopter fleet.
It's amazing how little people understand regarding who holds power in Iran
Congratulations and may the good God bless you. Hoping that you will be a peace maker.
The right honorable gentleman ought to consider avoiding helicopters.
😂😂😂👍
God bless great Iran ❤️🇮🇷
I know Iranians who fled to Southern California after the Shah was deposed who would love to move back.
So? There's Iraqis, Vietnamese, Syrians, etc. who fled their country. You're falsely implying that Iran did something bad to drive Iranians out. Many of the Iranian who left were Western collaborators. Of course they left when the puppet regime fell.
The Shah imposed a reign of terror on Iranians, they won't be welcome back with open arms if at all.
Members of their secret police and families ?
They are not welcome
Its crazy when iran requires more secure voting measures then the USA.
CIA elections aren't secure.
Iran's security is in the hands of the supreme leader and not the president
This channel is a go-to for information. It's the best!
Congratulations President Masoud ❤️🇮🇷🦾😇
respect to our Aryan brothers and sisters
As an Iranian, I salute you and all the people of the world and avoid racism
Breath of fresh air to the freedom loving countries!
Honestly, what difference does Pezeshkian getting elected make? When Ayatollah, the Supreme Leader, has the final say in all Iranian affairs and is still the one in charge.
In America, we look at pictures of people in Iran from the 70's, happy and smiling and wearing real clothing, it looked like you had come out of the darkness and had a very bright future. Then the Islamic Revolution happened and you were all enslaved again in religious bondage. It's very sad to watch an entire people trapped in an imaginary prison.

“Real clothing” 😂 what a joke. It’s sad how people treat such a beautiful nation with a rich history as a North Korea like place
@@opportunistsglobal
"Rich history" destroyed by Islam.
Same will happen with trumps 2025 plans.
"As they fortify their ties with Russia and China...
And that bodes well for us..HOW?
Yeah, he's going to appease his people, and make it LOOK like he's not making nukes. All while planning a strategy for WWIII with China and Russia. NOT GOOD.
Also, is that sentence one that comes from this man? Or is it an assumption the announcer and his editors made?
Did you expect Iran to make moves in the interest of America?
@@bradleybreslin945 nah, never.
@@bradleybreslin945it would benefit iran more then siding with russian and chinese dictators
Interesting they take fingerprints for authenticity in Iran. Maybe we should too here in America. I would give my fingerprint when voting.
@@Ttttcdtfdhhigfr4 l live in Fl in the US I have to show my driver license with my pic to vote they Dont need my fingerprint
I hoping this will brings peace to the people and Middle Eastern countries??
We will see by his Actions???
Pretty incredible. Not one pundit in the west predicted this win.
Not one pundit in the West cares because this is a DOA position
Now saudi arabia, uae, jordan,egypt,syria,katar,bahrain, oman, iraq, libiya, morocco people have right to choose their president like iran.
RELEASE THE HOSTAGES
Which ones? Do you mean the Palestinians rotting in Israeli jails without charge or a trial?
The iranians are now in a process of healing for peace and stability
This just proves that Iranians really want change. Time for more freedom and democracy. Hopefully, the new President will be genuinely for the People and the changes they want to have for their country.
@@noy.sulober If you believe that I have a bridge for sale in your desert
Congratulations.
Wrong! Hasan Rohani was also a reformist..
A baby steps forward and what’s the official name of their COUNTRY?
Islamic Republic of Iran is the official name of our current country tho it is Ironic 😂😂
Excellent.
Someone ask him what he thinks about people who leave Islam if hes such a Reformer
step by step, man
Treason
That means your real papa was a Siddi Indian, you just never met him
the definition of the word reform doesn't really mean better. we will see if anything really even changes
Maybe helicopter will enter the scene again so they can have another presidential election.
Better not be vacationing in Israel if that happens again.
Iran's power is not based on officials and personalities, it is based on culture and civilization
thanks for vote dr masoud pezeshkian 💚 he is perfect manager.
Let me guess, a new Benazir Bhutto. May God protect him
You need to work on women's rights and the ancient way they have to dress. GET WITH THE TIMES

@@myrtleborodziuk7163 they're not weak like us... But then again I wonder how the US military can wear long sleeve in the Middle East. I guess you get used to it plus protects you from the Sun.
Wow, anyone else notice that US flag on the building? That says a lot.
can u read those words?
@@josephguo6256 lol, I mean it says a lot about what the people think of the United sates on a wider scale. When so many of us here in the states want peace, these people seem to be hoping for the fall of our country. But if someone in the United States were to project that idea about Iran they would be considered racist and a radicalized. I’m just sayin 🤷🏻♂️
Love the ole down withe USA mural, let me guess, more propaganda to fuel American rage? Meh people are done with the wars.
Very happy for him. He will lead as well as the american president does...on strings.
Can't be any worse than the last guy that's for sure
Might be a nice change, but he's not in charge.
My parents grew up in middle east as muslims but they moved after the war so, I grew up in the church and thought that was the whole religion just going to church every Sunday and eventually stopped going and started to do my own thing. But I wanted to find the purpose of life because I knew everything we worked for would pass away. So I started to look into all the religions to see if christianity was even really the ultimate truth. Later on opened up the Bible and saw the Jesus people talked about was completely different from what was in the Bible. I started to draw closer to the higher power and had a supernatural encounter with him and I felt the most love and peace and was truly indescribable and out of this world, and nothing i've ever felt from then on and never will tbf will come close to that experience, but I was shocked because I wasn't expecting this encounter, so I went up to my balcony and everything looked brand new like it was the first time seeing the nature when I looked outside. Almost like a new born and it was like it was so detailed . Every time I used to go outside it looked so boring and mundane and natural but this time that all changed, and I’m here to tell you it’s about a relationship not religion and he is real and did die on the cross for you willingly and thinks you as the only person and was thinking of you while dying.
I also now have my own spiritual practice and beliefs that come from experiences like that. God is real, but is much deeper and more loving than most religions describe.
you don't need some religious text to show you the way to enlightenment, and you don't religion to be a good moral person or a good citizen
@@johndoe-ep7qk I wouldn’t say you don’t need the Bible I do think you need it because it’s God way of communicating to humans how to live and no one is good that’s why Jesus came and died for us so we can be saved, God bless you
That is you, the real way to adhere to a faith is using your brain as well as your heart. If one of them is absent you will be looking forever to find the right religion. Islam is not about miracles it is factual to address your intellect and it is spritual to address your heart.
What? Nobody crying about it was rigged? No red hats and upside down Iranian flags? 😅
What does the Ayatollah have to say about this?
We all want peace and friendship. Let's work toward that.
Rouhani was reformist... what's with the two decade headline?🙄
He was a centrist.

look at how they vote, fingerprints, ID and all…
How do you do it in the US?
Is that the same as progressive, if it is i feel sorry for Iran 😂😂😂😂
The people of Iran were given two options 1 Satan 2 lucifer they choose number 2.
Thank you for answering my unasked question so completely. My first thought was what does he represent and how will it benefit the people of Iran. All over the world is evidence of how important it is not to let your freedoms go. I hope ALL of America is paying attention.

“first reformist president in 2 decades” **rouhani silently crying in a corner**
He will do whatever the clerics tell him to do.
People don't seem to know that the Ayatollah and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard have the final say in anything that happens in Iran. Unfortunately, this doesn't mean a whole lot.
Well, US oligarchs, security agencies and bureaucrats have final say here....

My intuition prompts me to ask: How was he allowed to run and be elected? I am not under the impression that the Mullahs are softening. What is actually happening?
I had to come visit the comments to see what it all means
Withholding an opinion right now as if mine means anything.

He is a reformist like Albert Einstein was a belly dancer.

Shelf live?
And pigs can fly now,who knew?
No use as long as khamenei, his son and the mullahs can see the light of the day
I hope this is a step away from the insane direction khameini wants to take the Persian people. That path, of intense obsessional hatred can only ever be damaging to ordinary Iranians that don't want to go in the direction khameini wants to go, spendfing billions arming proxies that "should" be spent making Iran a better place, with a happier population. Peace is always always preferable to war. Let's hope Pezeshkian succeeds where Raisi failed miserably.
Except he had no power over religious dictatorship
hope don't repeat another 1953 by ukw

Inshallah Iran
Burka wife is not being a reformist.
More like Ayatollah appointed him to soften the Iranian population.
Yes !!!!
Even if he may wish for reforms, he'll be severely restricted by the "supreme leader". Kind of a lame duck prez if you ask me.
Great news for Iran and the world!
He's gonna change
NOTHING.
nah id change
