Tag: Masoud Pezeshkian

Masoud Pezeshkian became President of Iran in July 2024, succeeding Ebrahim Raisi. Iran shares a border with Armenia and has historically played a significant balancing role in South Caucasus geopolitics — serving as a counterweight to Azerbaijan and Turkey and maintaining economic ties with Armenia at times when regional isolation threatened Yerevan’s connectivity.

Groong episodes covering Pezeshkian address Iran’s regional foreign policy, the implications of the 12-Day War (Israel’s 2025 military campaign against Iran) for the South Caucasus, Iran’s position on the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace process, and the strategic significance of the Iran-Armenia border for Armenian sovereignty and regional connectivity.
