From the Washington Free Beacon: Iran’s new president, widely touted in Western media outlets as a “moderate” and “reformist,” has spent the weeks following his election pledging to arm regional terror groups and assembling an international “Axis of Resistance” to threaten America.
In the two weeks since he rose to the presidency, Masoud Pezeshkian has pledged to continue supporting Hamas, provided Hezbollah assistance to destroy the “illegitimate Zionist regime,” and lobbied for rosier relations with Russia and China as part of the trio’s Axis of Resistance against America.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has always supported the resistance of the people in the region against the illegitimate Zionist regime,” he wrote to Hezbollah’s secretary general on July 8. “Supporting the resistance is rooted in the fundamental policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the ideals of the late Imam Khomeini, and the guidance of the Supreme Leader, and will continue with strength.”
The report notes that mainstream media outlets in the U.S., such as the New York Times, CNN, the Washington Post, USA Today, and the Financial Times, tried to pain Pezeshkian’s rise to power in Iran as “a sea of change for Tehran.”
The New York Times wrote a glowing report on Tuesday, claiming that “Mr. Pezeshkian, a 69-year-old cardiac surgeon who won the election in an upset as a reformist, looks and sounds unconventional.”
My profile of Iran’s new president Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian. Who is he? He has portrayed himself as a modern leader for a new era in Iran, a fixer of sorts. Can he deliver? Gift link:
