Iran’s hard-line parliament approved all members of President Masoud Pezeshkian’s Cabinet, marking the first time since 2001 that a leader has secured unanimous approval for his proposed ministers.
This early victory highlights Pezeshkian’s ability to choose a Cabinet that satisfies Iran’s various power centers, avoiding controversial choices.
Among the approved ministers is Abbas Araghchi, who will serve as foreign minister.
Araghchi, a key figure in the 2015 nuclear deal, represents Pezeshkian’s intent to revive diplomatic efforts.
The successful approval of Pezeshkian’s Cabinet is notable, as dropping proposed ministers is common in Iran’s parliament. This consensus signals strong support for Pezeshkian’s leadership and his approach to governance.
