Masoud Pezeshkian

He was born at Mahabad in West Azerbaijan province, of an Iranian Azerbaijani father and a Kurdish mother, served as a medic in the Iran–Iraq War, and trained in general and cardiac surgery at Tabriz and Tehran. The English article describes his public devotion in personal terms: he is a teacher of the Quran and a reciter of Nahj al-balagha, the collection of Ali's sermons. ^{1 2}

President Ebrahim Raisi died in a helicopter crash on 19 May 2024. The English article's infobox names Raisi as Pezeshkian's predecessor, but its text states expressly that "Mohammad Mokhber served as acting president between Raisi's death and Pezeshkian's inauguration": Pezeshkian won the snap election of July 2024 and was inaugurated on 28 July 2024 after an acting interlude, and the record therefore states the succession in this prose rather than as a direct successor relation. The same article records that after the assassination of Ali Khamenei he sat on the Interim Leadership Council of 1–8 March 2026, until Mojtaba Khamenei was elected Supreme Leader. ¹

His faith is recorded as unknown. No text in any edition names an affiliation for him personally. The English article's account of his Quran teaching and his recitation of Nahj al-balagha, which it calls "a key text for Shia Muslims", describes the book and his devotional practice — it does not attest his school, and public practice is not an attestation. The Arabic and Urdu texts carry the same passage. The only branch attestation anywhere is structured: Wikidata carries both Twelver Shi'ism and Shia Islam in general — one structured family, short of two independent texts — and it is preserved here without a recorded value. ^{1 3 2}
