Iran’s new government must demonstrate control over conflicts, expert tells CNN

Iran is undergoing a government transition, with a more moderate administration coming to power. This change could have significant implications for conflicts in the region, according to ESPM International Relations professor Denilde Holzhacker in an interview with CNN Behind the Scenes .

According to the expert, the new Iranian president, Masoud Pezeshkian, will face the challenge of demonstrating control and strength, especially in relation to internal and external conflicts. “He is a moderate government, but he will need to demonstrate that he has control and strength. So, that is why there is fear of an escalation,” explained Holzhacker.

Regional tensions and international reactions

The professor’s analysis comes at a time of growing concern about a possible escalation of the war in the region. The situation has worsened following the death of a Hamas leader, who has not yet been officially recognized by Israel.

Holzhacker highlighted two crucial points for the unfolding of events in the coming hours: the reaction of the new Iranian government and the position of the United States. “The Americans stated that they did not know, they had no information that there would be this action against the Hamas leader. So, also what will be the American position of pressure towards Israel”, he pointed out.

The expert also mentioned the importance of observing the actions of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to assess the degree of instability and possible reactions in the coming moments. How Israel handles the situation could have a significant impact on regional dynamics.

The complex geopolitical scenario demands increased attention from analysts and world leaders, while the international community awaits the next developments in this delicate transition of power in Iran and its potential repercussions on conflicts in the Middle East.
