Iran, as one of the few industrial countries in the Middle East, has always been an anti-American and anti-Western pillar. However, like many countries, Iran's pro-Western bloc is quite powerful, and in several games with Israel, there have been internal ghost problems, which have caused Iran to suffer heavy losses. And the death of the former Iranian president in a plane crash has pushed this anti-American pillar in the Middle East to a crossroads of fate. Now, as Iran's election reaches a critical juncture, there is an ominous smell.
Let's start with the Iranian election. According to the external results of the Iranian Ministry of Internal Affairs, in the first round of presidential election voting results, the top two presidential candidates are the reformist candidate Pezeshkian and the hardline candidate Jalili.
Calling factions so directly, maybe everyone doesn't know very well. Let's briefly describe it, and everyone should be roughly clear. Iranian reformists are more pro-American and pro-Western. This time, the reformist candidate Pezeshkian has repeatedly said that in order to improve relations with the West, future work will be focused on lifting Western sanctions against Iran. Hardliners, on the other hand, are generally conservative, and tend to conform to doctrine on religious issues, for example. In terms of international strategic tendency, Iran needs to be self-reliant, and there is no need to curry favor with the West in order to lift the blockade. On the contrary, it is possible to cooperate more with countries that "have their own rights".
To a certain extent, these two groups of people can be directly regarded as pro-American and local interests.
Intuitively, the current situation in Iran is very dangerous. Let's not talk about the contradictions with Israel, if it is purely internal, the situation is very unclear. On the one hand, Khamenei, who plays the role of "anchoring the sea", is already old, and the originally chosen successor died in a helicopter accident, in other words, Iran now does not have the energy to effectively choose a qualified successor, and can only rely on the "general election".
On the other hand, although there are many hard-liners and conservatives in this election, it is precisely this that leads to the scattering of votes and the contradictions and conflicts between several candidates. On the contrary, this has given the reformers, who originally had less support and should not have an advantage, to occupy an advantageous position.
On June 25, Iran's supreme religious leader, Ayatollah Ali Ali Khamenei, once made a speech with some worries about things, and the smell of ominousness was very strong. At that time, Khamenei claimed that "those who depend on the United States cannot run the country well". This is clearly a roll call, and among the several candidates, some are typical pro-Americans.
In fact, Khamenei is 85 years old this year, and how long he will live is completely unpredictable. The outcome of this general election in Iran will not only determine the president of the Iranian government, but also the position of the supreme leader of Iran in the future, the "supreme religious leader". Further, once the pro-American and pro-Western reformers come to power, then the anti-American pillar of the Middle East in the future will only be "discolored". Therefore, neither the United States nor Iran's pro-American faction can afford to miss such an opportunity to ascend to the sky. It is foreseeable that in this Iranian presidential election, I am afraid that the struggle under the stage will be very fierce.
