The sudden death of President Raisi has undoubtedly constituted a real "gray rhinoceros" impact on Iranian politics.
According to the clear provisions of the Constitution, if the president is unable to perform his duties for any reason or unfortunately dies, the state must organize and hold a general election within 50 days.
The election is taking place against the complex backdrop of Iran's face unilateral external sanctions, the intensification of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, as well as the slow recovery of the internal economy and the increasingly acute social contradictions.
The competition between conservatives and reformists was particularly fierce, and the winner came to the presidency of Massoud Pezeshkian, a representative of moderate reformers.
Iran's presidential candidate Massoud Pezeshkian won the presidential election in a fierce campaign against conservative candidate Jalili, the Iranian state news agency officially announced on July 6.
Unlike other candidates, Pezeshkian's career has not involved service in key areas such as security, diplomacy, economics, or the heart of the Supreme Leader's decision-making.
He began his career as a military doctor during the Iran-Iraq War, followed by a medical degree with outstanding medical talent and extensive educational experience as a faculty member at several medical education institutions.
In 1997, Pezeshkian entered politics and joined the cabinet of Iranian reformist leader Khatami, where he served as deputy minister and then minister of health, demonstrating outstanding administrative and leadership skills.
Since then, he has been elected to parliament five times in a row, and is deeply trusted and supported by the people.
Perhaps it was this "grassroots" elite upbringing that made Pezeshkian stand out in the election campaign and won widespread support.
In contrast, after Raisi's death, there was a constant struggle among conservatives and no time to work together, which ultimately led to the defeat of the election.
Although the constitution stipulates that the results of the elections must be confirmed by a constitutional committee composed of clergy and lawyers before they take effect, there is a theoretical possibility of overturning the election results.
In practice, however, Iranian law gives the Guardian Council the power to review eligibility, which means that politicians who do not meet the expectations of religious affiliations have little chance to run.
Thus, being able to participate in the elections is in itself a kind of recognition of the politician, and an election victory is almost equivalent to the official birth of a new president.
In this election, Pezeshkian successfully won the approval of the Constitutional Council and officially became the new president of Iran with his outstanding campaign performance and broad popular support.
During the election campaign, Pezeshkian made clear that he would remain loyal to the Islamic Republic of Iran and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Ali Khamenei, and to uphold Iran's Islamic values and principles.
He supported the Revolutionary Guards' military operations and emphasized Iran's important role in regional security affairs.
At the same time, he also put forward the idea of confronting Israel through the "Arc of Resistance" strategy, which aims to safeguard Iran's national interests and regional security.
In addition, he is committed to promoting social and cultural freedom and harmony, emphasizing the importance of multiculturalism and inclusion.
In response to the problem of "stagflation" that the people are concerned about, Pezeshkian also proposed specific solutions.
He pledged to work to reduce political conflicts and resolve differences and disputes through dialogue and consultation.
At the same time, he will bring in more professionals to participate in the political decision-making process to improve the government's ability and efficiency.
In order to improve people's livelihood and promote economic development, he also plans to nationalize education, medical and other industries, and reduce tax evasion and increase state revenue by establishing a tax system.
Judging by these campaign agendas, Pezeshkian is far from "reformist" or "liberal" in the Western context.
He focused more on solving practical problems and strengthening national capacities, stressing the importance of economic recovery and development.
His campaign philosophy is more in line with Iran's national conditions and the actual needs of the people, so he has also won wider support and recognition.
At the foreign policy level, Pezeshkian also showed unique thinking and insights.
He believes that inflation is closely related to the degree of economic openness, and advocates that Iran should renegotiate with countries around the world and return to the world economic system.
He stressed the need for Iran to actively participate in global economic cooperation and competition to enhance the country's economic strength and international competitiveness.
At the same time, he also opposes a policy of "one-sidedness" toward either side of the East and the West, and instead advocates balanced diplomacy.
He believes that Iran should maintain friendly relations with other countries and flexibly adjust its diplomatic strategy in accordance with changes in its national interests and the international situation.
In the area of regional affairs, Pezeshkian also put forward specific ideas and plans.
He believes that the resumption of the JCPOA is an important way to improve relations with neighboring countries, which will help ease regional tensions and promote regional peace and stability.
At the same time, he also advocated working with all countries in the region and Islamic countries to resolve the Palestinian issue and promote the development of the regional peace process.
His ideas and plans have demonstrated his in-depth thinking and unique insights into regional affairs, and have also won the attention and recognition of regional countries and the international community.
Pezeshkian's election campaign not only reflects the Iranian people's urgent desire for economic development and social inclusion, but also reflects his deep thinking and responsibility for Iran's national interests and regional peace and stability.
His victory also marks an important change and transformation in Iran's political arena, and indicates that Iran will move towards a more pragmatic, open and pluralistic development path in the future.
However, Pezeshkian also faces many challenges and difficulties.
The complexity and diversity of Iran's political scene make it difficult for any president to navigate the problems and challenges with ease.
At the same time, Iran is also facing external pressures and challenges such as unilateral sanctions and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
These require a lot of effort and wisdom on the part of Pezeshkian and his team to deal with and solve.
During the election campaign, Pezeshkian also spoke frankly about the challenges and difficulties he faced.
He pledged to do his best to deliver on his campaign promises and create a more prosperous, stable and better future for the Iranian people.
If he fails to fulfill his campaign promises, he will choose to retire from politics as a sign of responsibility and responsibility to the people and the country.
It is foreseeable that the political upheaval triggered by Raisi's death and the persistently depressed economic situation will further exacerbate the rift in Iranian society.
Whichever president is elected will face daunting challenges.
However, Pezeshkian's victory undoubtedly brings new hope and opportunities for Iran's future.
His pragmatic, open and pluralistic governance philosophy will inject new impetus and vitality into Iran's development and propel Iran towards a more prosperous, stable and bright future.
In the days to come, we look forward to Pezeshkian leading the Iranian people to jointly address various challenges and difficulties and achieve the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people.
At the same time, we also hope that Iran will continue to maintain friendly relations with other countries, actively participate in cooperation and competition in regional and international affairs, and make greater contributions to world peace and development.
