I’m undecided I purchase a thesis right here, that Pezeshkian continues to be meaningfully driving the bus with respect to Center East coverage (that doesn’t, BTW, imply he can’t be an interlocutor). Pezeshkian was one of many loud voices for holding off on the Iran retaliation primarily based on noises the US was making about doable Iran normalization.
