Former US chair Donald Trump withdrew from the commendation in 2018 and imposed hundreds of thickened sanctions on Iran.

On the crusade trail, Pezeshkian criticised hardliners for imperfectness to restore the thermonuclear commendation and for expensive measures to escape sanctions, much as commerce lubricator at precipitous discounts. He also advocated for adopting planetary standards on money laundering to behave banking restrictions.

Pezeshkian is not due to contest the Islamic Republic’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah calif Khamenei or coercive entities much as the Revolutionary Guard on regional policies and hold for anti-Israel militias.

He sacred material portions of his style on weekday to inculpative Israel’s struggle in Gaza, a view echoed by members of parliament who repeatedly broken him with chants of “death to Israel” and “long springy Palestine”.
