With Masoud Pezeshkian securing victory in Iran's presidential election over hardliner Saeed Jalili, his presidency signals a shift towards pragmatic and reformist policies. Mr Pezeshkian, an experienced lawmaker and cardiac surgeon, has advocated for both domestic and international reforms in Iran for an extended period His election is seen as a mandate for change amid widespread dissatisfaction with the hardline approaches of previous administrations. However, the complexities of Iranian political dynamics, where hardliners maintain significant influence and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei wields ultimate authority, will present challenges to Mr Pezeshkian in realizing his reformist agenda. India and Iran have traditionally maintained robust economic relations. Under President Pezeshkian's leadership, these ties are poised to strengthen further. There will be a particular emphasis on the strategic Chabahar Port, a project in which India has already made substantial investments. The port serves as a crucial gateway for trade with Afghanistan and Central Asia, providing an alternative route that bypasses Pakistan. India has committed $120 million for the development of the Shahid-Beheshti Port terminal and offered a $250 million credit line for various infrastructure projects in Iran. Experts believe that while Iran's general foreign policy is expected to remain consistent regardless of its leadership, there may be variations in operational methods and specific details.
