🇾🇪/🇸🇦 NEW: Saudi Arabia reluctantly abides by Yemen's ultimatum

After the end of the Hajj pilgrimage last week, Saudi Arabia threatened to deport a large group of Yemeni pilgrims to Aden Airport, in the Saudi-backed government area of Yemen, instead of Sanaa Airport.

Yemen's Ansarullah gave Saudi Arabia a 3 day ultimatum to return the pilgrims to Houthi-controlled territory. Today, on the 3rd day, the pilgrims landed safely in Sanaa Airport with Yemenia Airlines.

🇮🇷 The map of the first round of Iran's Presidential election (the second round looks the same):

As can be clearly seen, the vote is divided among ethnic and sectarian lines, as well as rural vs urban.

Azeri Turks and Kurds voted overwhelmingly for Pezeshkian, because Pezeshkian is a Turk born in Kurdistan. These two ethnic groups consist of millions inside Iran.

Sunni Iranians in Balochistan also voted overwhelmingly in favor of Pezeshkian.

Additionally, large cities, with the exception of Mashhad and Esfahan, prefered Pezeshkian over Jalili, who did much better in rural areas.

🇮🇷 Masoud Pezeshkian has been elected: What happens next?

On the 21st of July, the Parliament will hold a special session for the resignation of Pezeshkian from his current seat as an MP. An election will be held for his vacated seat.

In early August, he will take the Presidential oath and assume office, replacing current interim President Mohammad Mokhber.

For the first few days / weeks, he will be in charge of the same cabinet that was appointed by Martyr President Raisi.

After Pezeshkian has formed and appointed his own cabinet members, his new cabinet needs to secure a vote of confidence from the Parliament and gain approval from the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei.

After the cabinet has been officially approved by the institutions, the new administration can begin its work.

🇮🇷 NEW: After election day, President-elect Masoud Pezeshkian held a private meeting with the Supreme Leader, Imam Khamenei, for over 5 hours

After the meeting, within the last 48 hours, several important things have happened:

🇷🇺 Pezeshkian held a phone conversation with President Putin, affirming that Iran-Russia relations are a definite priority, and that they will only grow stronger.

🇱🇧 🇵🇸 Pezeshkian sent a personal letter to the Secretary General of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, affirming full support for the Resistance Axis, in specific Hezbollah, and the matter of Palestinian liberation.

🇮🇷 Ex-Foreign Minister, Javad Zarif, who is widely held responsible for the failed nuclear deal and weak foreign policy under Rouhani, announced he will NOT become Iran's new Foreign Minister, despite playing a major part in Pezeshkian's campaign.

Thank God, with the vision of the Supreme Leader, and within the boundaries of this vision, the President will act accordingly.

🇮🇷 As mentioned before:

Under the watchful eye of the Leader, Imam Khamenei, there is nothing to worry about regarding major foreign policy decisions or support for the Resistance Axis. These matters are simply non-negotiable. They all happen within the Leader's broader vision.

President Masoud Pezeshkian mostly has free game regarding domestic affairs, especially economic policy. That's 90% of what the President's main job is about.

The Resistance Axis, Palestine, BRICS, Iran's relationship with regional nations like Saudi Arabia, these things are all non-negotiable.
