Amidst the recent stunning news of the Iranian presidential elections, there is a sense of uncertainty and volatility in the region. The reality is that Iranian presidents have limited influence on foreign policy decisions, with the supreme leader and Revolutionary Guards holding significant power in shaping and implementing Iran's regional policies.
With the upcoming elections to be held in just 50 days, there is concern about potential destabilization, especially given the internal unrest and low public support for the current regime. The focus in the next few weeks is likely to be on internal matters rather than regional affairs.
