The demise of the former Iranian President in a plane crash after his visit from Azerbaijan sparked a leadership crisis in the country. Iran went into new elections to elect the new President of the country. The government is facing Western sanctions due to its anti-West and Islamic policies. Iran has been a staunch rival of Western interests in the Middle Eastern region. Islamic conservative regime in Iran has been the prime source of anti-West policies. However, the newly elected Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is expected to bring some change to Iran’s international stature. President Masoud is known to have a reformist ideology and has pledged during his election campaign to get some liberal reforms.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is terribly afraid of the cessation of armed hostilities in the Middle East.
