The article discusses the upcoming Iranian presidential election and the potential outcomes. It highlights that while the reformist candidate, Masoud Pezeshkian, could potentially win, it is not expected due to the historical pattern of surprise results in Iranian elections. The article also notes that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has typically prevented candidates close to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from winning the presidency. It suggests that Khamenei may prefer a low-key technocrat like Pezeshkian or someone with a firmer ideological stance. However, the article emphasizes that regardless of the outcome, the president's influence on Iran's policies is limited, as the Supreme Leader and the hardline establishment determine foreign policy.
