Iran's "Moderate" President Is Just Another Hardliner-In-Disguise To Glide In Its Nuclear Weapons Program
2024-07-16
[ZeroHedge - GatestoneInstitute] Before the Biden administration gets too carried away celebrating the election of Iran's so-called moderate president, it should understand that Masoud Pezeshkian's victory is nothing more than a ploy to distract world attention away from Iran's nuclear weapons programme.

While Iranian voters have understandably been focused on electing a new president to replace hardliner Ebrahim Raisi, who was killed in a mysterious helicopter crash in May, the regime has been intensifying its efforts to acquire nuclear weapons.

#2  Pezeshkian is a genuine moderate on a few issues (e.g. headscarves), an almost moderate on some other issues (e.g., relations with Afghanistan) and a regime acolyte on other issues (e.g., uranium enrichment)
