Masoud Pezeshkian is the reformist President of Iran, who won the runoff presidential election in 2026 by promising to reach out to the international community.
His victory came after a period of conflict with the United States, and he has since faced challenges from hardliners within Iran, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), who oppose negotiations with the US.
Pezeshkian's cabinet nominations have been notably conservative, including hardliners in key ministries, reflecting the political constraints he operates under.
Pezeshkian and the hardliners have conflicting interests over how to handle relations with the United States.
Pezeshkian has called for an end to the current deadlock with the US, describing it as the right moment for a lasting agreement, while hardliners oppose negotiations and accuse him of a power grab.
This internal dispute has become a significant political battle within Iran, sometimes overshadowing the external conflict with the US.
The stakes are high, as Pezeshkian's approach could reshape Iran's foreign policy and its relationship with the US, while hardliners seek to preserve the IRGC's power and ideological stance.
Pezeshkian has also faced criticism from far-right factions, such as over his casual attire during a water crisis meeting, indicating the broader cultural and political tensions he navigates.

Supporters of Iranian President Pezeshkian counter that hardliners mistake tactics for strategy, as dialogue itself is leverage—it exposes Washington’s demands while splitting its coalition, and every negotiation table grants Tehran time to expand its nuclear and regional positio.
