Iran has inaugurated a new president, Masoud Pezeshkian, in a ceremony at the Office of the Supreme Leader, where he received his appointment decree from Ayatollah Khamenei. Pezeshkian emphasized unity and development in his address. The ceremony highlighted the Supreme Leader's role in confirming the president's election. The event was attended by senior officials and foreign diplomats. The late President Raisi's death led to an early election. Pezeshkian, a reformist, faces challenges in fulfilling promises while dealing with a conservative parliament and the Supreme Leader's authority over key policies.
