Iran's New Reformist President Promises More Freedom, Better Relations with the West

Voters in Iran elected Masoud Pezeshkian as president Saturday. The heart surgeon and former health minister defeated hard-liner Saeed Jalili in a runoff vote held just weeks after President Ebrahim Raisi and other top officials died in a helicopter crash. Pezeshkian has criticized Iran's mandatory hijab law for women and has promised to disband Iran's morality police, as well as better relations with the United States and other Western countries in the hopes of lifting sanctions. Journalist Reza Sayah in Tehran says that while Pezeshkian spoke the language of the reformist movement, he also strived to show he's not going to be a disruptive force to the establishment." We also speak with Persepolis author Marjane Satrapi, who says elections in Iran are a farce" and that no candidate who reaches the presidency can really challenge the system. The president does not change a lot."
