The new president, on the other hand, was a low-profile reformer who frequently insisted that he was "not a special person". Backed by supreme leader Ali Khamenei, Mr Pezeshkian expressed a desire to cooperate with the West, insisting Iran would only thrive if it was cohesive. "We do not wish to be the cause of instability in the Middle East," he  said in interviews and meetings  in the early days of his presidency. Yet as one of the most powerful men in the country, he faced scrutiny from an army of conservative critics who had favoured a hardliner for the role. Two years later, Mr Pezeshkian is now caught up in a swirl of...
