Guest doesn't seem too enthusiastic.

Don’t take any helicopter rides. Remember what happened to the last president that took a helicopter ride.

It’s a big thing when they remove only every 2nd toe nail when getting tortured

anyway the ayatollah decide everything

The problem in both Pakistan and Iran is that elected governments don't have power to consolidate any sorts of reforms because of parallel/quasi establishments as the guest speaker mentioned. These establishments have been given so much carte blanche over the years that they have established their own parallel systems with no checks and balances at place. This is concerning for the people because in both countries civil liberties are threatened.

The dress you put on the pig doesn't change the pig.

Interviewer is good, but he's interviewing someone who just talks in circles.

Means puppeet of the dictator

He is not reformist. He is moderate. There is actually a difference

So, why is this guy called a reformer if he can’t reform anything? Seems like a big joke the real power players in Iran are playing on the people. 😢

So it's like the US uniparty.

It's either a set up or he won't last long.

The Supreme Leader at the top needs reforming

He's right.

He’ll never be able to reform the leader for sure!

Does it really matter, the dude with beard calls the shots. His title is "Supreme Leader" after all.

When Europe. the majority doesnt vote..low participation means protest against the system

This analyst doesn’t know what he’s talking about…

When western powers calls you good names, you're doing sth bad to your people

Abstract Masoud Pezeshkian, a Turk originally from the city of Urmu (Urmia) in West Azerbaijan, is a candidate for the Iranian presidency. Born and educated in the city of Savucbulaq (Savujbulagh, later Mahabad), Azerbaijan due to his parents' employment and residence, he is fluent in the Mukriyani dialect of the Kurdish language and familiar with the Kurdish culture. The candidacy of Pezeshkian for the presidency, is significant not only for the general democratization of Iran but also for the Turkish nation living in Iran and the "Turkish National Cause". In the contemporary history of Iran, Pezeshkian is the highest-ranking government official who has openly stated that he has a Turkish ethnic identity, is proud of being a Turk, and that Persian is not the mother tongue or the first language of Turks. By emphasizing his Turkish identity and expressing pride in being a Turk, Pezeshkian has delivered a historic and fatal blow to the official ideology of the modern state of Iran, as well as pan-Iranism and Azerbaijanism ideologies and their colonial nation building processes. For the past century, these ideologies have denied the existence of a distinct ethnic and national identity known as Turk in Iran, rejected the idea that Turkish is the mother tongue and primary language of Turks, and portrayed being a Turk as a shameful phenomenon. When Pezeshkian was the deputy speaker of the parliament, he was involved in the establishment of the “Faction of Turkish-Populated Regions”. Following its formation, he assumed leadership of the Faction. This Faction, consisted of representatives of all Turks residing throughout Iran with various political leanings, solidified the national name and identity of "Turk" and strengthened the national unity of the Western Oghuz people living in Iran, transforming them into a single entity and a cohesive political force operating under the banner of “Turk”, which is independent and separate from Farsis (Persians) and Farsistan (Persia). In this way, the independent Turkish ethnic-national factor reappeared in the political scene of Iran after the overthrow of the Turkish Qajar state. Over the past century, the Iranian state and Fars nationalists have been attempting to eliminate the "Turk" as an independent political factor and remove it from the Iranian political scene. In his speeches, interviews, and debates, Pezeshkian has consistently advocated the rights of women, as well as national and religious groups and the transition towards the Eyalet system - a form of federalism. He has voiced strong opposition to institutionalized discrimination against national, ethnic and religious groups, as well as gender discrimination. He also opposes the official policy of Farsification imposed on non-Persian nations. Pezeshkian has condemned the linguistic and national genocide of Turks by the Iranian state, mockery and demeaning portrayal of Turks in publications and media. Pezeshkian has insisted on the necessity of providing education in the Turkish language for Turks and in the languages of other nations and minority groups, in schools. Additionally, he has stressed the significance of fostering friendly relations with Turkey and the Republic of Azerbaijan. For these reasons, Pezeşkiyan's name is considered an important and positive figure in the national history of the Turks and the "Turkish National Struggle", even before being elected as President.

Very progressive of Iranians to elect an Armenian

Will CIA Mossad influence him to lean to the dark side 😂😂

The commentator is from the opposition has a very extreme opinion when you want to discuss something in this country, you better bring someone from outside to have a balanced opinion

Islam doesn't leave much wiggle room for reform. They are stuck in the 7th century. The more important issue is: How was irans pistachio harvest this year?

Reformist is a English word and Means the same everywhere.

Iran's regime is not changeable 👌

Brianna, what I’m disappointed in is the fact that all the people that have reached out to congratulate this man are all from the Russian block none of the people who have openly expressed their interest to congratulate and reach out their hands in peace from the western countries That’s very disappointing. This might be the guy that could bring on the change.

+1 UP Democracy "Super Goal"

Means it's a lesser of two evils

Inability to reform is common to all political systems

Ничего нового. Та же самая средневековая херня.

Congratulations Mr Mosoud…! Iranian people has elected a well educated person as a prime minister. Hope Iran will do progress under his leadership. Love from India to Iran, Iranian people. 🇮🇳 🇮🇷

On a serious note: Their is very thin line between reformist and extremist, but very few understand it, In 21st century ,world need educational reformist mindset, not religious extremist mindset

The begining of the end?

Germany is complicit in gaza genocide.

Means nothing.

Oh dear …

هيچى. اصلاح طلب همون اصولگراست كه فقط انگليسى بلده و يكم بيشتر ميخنده.

Westerners looking 👀 for the "change" , that will never come

Stay out of helicopters

Anyone got a summary?

It means Nothing!!!! We Ir anians know…while this Re gime is there nothing will change…get real

Reformist: shall women be allowed colorful or monochromatic hijabs?

As if the West's "Reformists" actually reform anything. Italian PM comes to mind.

Viva Iran🇮🇷

he must be an younger brother of a director Coppola🙂

2:57 Voter ID and simple paper ballot... something the Americans can't fathom ...!!!!!!

This analyst would smile if we could bring him back the Shah from the dead to a Persian Empire.

Things only can get better...

Pretty much the same as it means in the west....absolutely nothing.

Why don't you just answer the question. Supreme Leader is now the best leader in the entire world, He is elected and does listen to people. Governing requires dialogue. Supreme leader asked people to get out and vote on the run off and 6,000,000 more voters turned out. Those are the facts. People of Iran has his back

😂😂 all same.. AD 600 reforms..😅

USA to iran: for attempting to take out israel, we are going to let israel retaliate back and support them unless you replace your president. Iran supreme leader: Hold my beer

0:29 gonna invest in whatever company makes those zip tied plastic ballot boxes!! Can't believe Iran use them, thought it would be a metal ammo box...

New president reminds me Antonio Banderas 😊

Candidates approve by supreme leader. Its chosen by him whoever wins. Reformists can be misleading.

respect to our Aryan brothers and sisters

trust a center for middle east organization man based on Berlin. Heh.

Not much expectations.

Reformist ? It means the joke is on you

Reformist ..it all depend on your orthonormal co-ordinates....

Imagine having your government overthrown by a country which speaks of International Law, and the rules based world order…(CIA Operation Ajax 1953)

"Bis a bis" to many big words to say what everyone already is thinking.

50% is not "low turnout" by any account especially when European turnouts are below 30% in presidential elections.

Let's hope this works out for us all.we need peace everywhere.

Now saudi arabia, jordan, egypt, uae,bahrain,qatar peoples have right to choose their president like iran.

There should be no reform, Islam is the ultimate reform, iran should keep applying stricter sharia law.

El Apoyo al Candidato más Moderado, más la altísima abstención, muestra la Mayor; El deseo de la Gran Mayoría de un cambio efectivo que dé lugar a una reforma que aminore la asfixia que el Régimen Teocrático apoyado por los Generales y los Guardianes de la revolución, unido a los servicio de seguridad impiden a veces con violencia extrema. El Gran Pueblo Persa se merece otra cosa mejor. Tiempo al Tiempo. 🇪🇸👍👌 Un saludo 🎗️

😂For the west, this is not a democracy as they didn't vote a man to marry another.....

Servant of God (SOG) believe in: Trade for everyone Peace for everyone

old army guy said german is on back burner poland is comein first for usa

Nooooo 😢 We wanted the hardliner, not this puppet dog

Iran must work with Europe and build their country and prosper, time to catch up and become closer.

Congratulations President Mazoud! May the Lord use you to steer the great nation of Iran from sponsoring terrorism in Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen; stop promoting unfounded, baseless and unnecessary hatred against Israel; stop funding terrorist groups and instead use the money for the improvement of the lives of the wonderful people of Iran; lead Iran to start giving respect and equality to Iranian women; bring back the good Farsi culture. The true God Almighty of the Bible bless Iran!❤ Salvation of the Lord be upon th e people of Iran!❤

How did Pride Month go in Iran?

These days, the role of president means nothing in the system. From George W. Bush to Joe Biden, we can see this.

hmmmmm

Depose the Ayatollah.

He said he is a fundementalist with reform aspirations, so it is wrong to call him a "Reformist". But even if he is, Reformists also believe in the regime of the Mullahs which were chosen by God to rule and take 20% of the annual income of the rich and poor in a step on the way of sending them to heaven.

Be sure, there will not be any changes, these are just shows of clowns.😂In Iran the president does not have power.

No difference at all

I learned nothing new from this video. Useless expert.

Doesn't his name ending suggest he is of Armenian descent? Edit: apparently not, from the replies below. Thank you for the explanations, I learned something.

Another puppet on strings. Okay!

Is it true they wash their annus with their fingers and don't use toilet paper?

Congratulations ❤🎉🎉

Is it true a woman there is worth half a man?

The system in iran is similar to what is happening in UK, where the king is the head of government

Goh nakhor kesafat iran setiz😊

Like moderates in Israel...but without genocide.

iran is as democratic as europe, here EU sets policies, local govermnet implements. in iran Supreme leader sets policies and the president implements!

Is it true they can divorce their wives just by declaring so and a woman needs a court? Is it true a newly divorced woman leaves the house only with the things on?

If exxonMobil or chevron pump Iranian oil they will be our best democratic friend

Ok. If someone protest against Iran, will the world against Saudi Arabia, or blind eye because of oil?

DW needs to review their so-called "iran experts" most of their opinions have been wrong in past decade

HE SET UP A INISTITUTE FOR INSULTING HIS COUNTRY TO GET MONEY FROM THE WEST 😅😅

similar enough to American democracy

*It seems that Iran has a Liberal president... Booo*

Looks way smarter than Orangeman and Brandon combined 😂

We have a name for people who do not have a beard, we call them women. This is just the same old, same old for the Raafidis.
