Araqchi in the spotlight of Western media regarding the medical cabinet
As expected, the candidate for the foreign ministry of the new government, who has been introduced for a vote of confidence in the Iranian parliament, has attracted the attention of Western and Israeli experts and media.
Emphasis on his background in negotiating Iran’s nuclear program and lifting sanctions in the early Biden administration and late Rouhani administration, as well as his educational background in the UK, are points that have received special attention. The key point in the coming days is the interaction of representatives with Pezeshkian and Araqchi in the confidence vote sessions. The representatives’ statements about the JCPOA, relations with the US, the Gaza crisis, and dealing with Israel will be closely scrutinized by Western media.
The introduction of a woman in the list of proposed ministers and the background of the defense minister candidate favored by Pezeshkian has also attracted a lot of attention. The Iranian Ministry of Defense holds relative importance for the Israelis, and although they are well aware of the limitations of this position’s authority in Iran, the history and background of Pezeshkian’s preferred candidate have caught their attention.
