Iran’s political landscape shifted yesterday as Masoud Pezeshkian, the new reformist president, secured parliamentary approval for all 19 of his proposed cabinet ministers.
A conciliatory approach that keeps the peace between factions, gives everybody a least a little of what they want, and most importantly doesn't rock the boat in any major way seems the safest approach for Iran at the moment. I know certain people always like to talk about the middle east like it's a faulty landmine that could explode if you look at it wrong, but it really does feel increasingly like we are one wrong move from a genuine regional war. Iran will need all hands on deck if they want to get through the next few years intact.
