ACADEMY SITREP – IRAN ELECTS A REFORMIST PRESIDENT July 8, 2024 https://lnkd.in/g3dBq9_b What has Happened: -Over the weekend, it was announced that reformist candidate Masoud Pezeshkian won the runoff presidential election in Iran, beating hardliner Saeed Jalili, a former nuclear negotiator. -Pezeshkian, a 69-year-old cardiac surgeon and member of Iran’s Parliament who also served as its First Deputy Speaker from 2016 to 2020, will replace Ebrahim Raisi who died in a helicopter crash in May. -However, while Pezeshkian campaigned on reaching out to the West and easing enforcement of the country’s mandatory headscarf law, we do not expect any change to Iranian foreign policy at this time. -Pezeshkian also promised no radical changes to Iran’s Shiite theocracy and believes that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has the final say in all matters of state. -The concern is that with the election in Iran behind him, Khamenei will continue to focus on supporting Iranian proxy forces in the region, including Hezbollah, which has increased its attacks on northern Israel significantly in the past few weeks.

I recently re-read about Washington at Valley Forge and his subsequent victory at Yorktown three years later. The more I read about the history of the United States the more in the red I feel. I will never be able to repay the debt I owe our great country. Happy Fourth of July!
