Pezeshkian promised no radical changes to Iran's Shiite theocracy in his campaign and long has held Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as the final arbiter of all matters of state in the country.

He will also not lead change in Iran's contentious relations with Israel, saying after he voted on Friday that should he win, he would “try to have friendly relations with all countries except Israel.”

FSB Eliminates Iranian Agent in Makhachkala

FSB officers, while attempting to detain him, eliminated an Iranian citizen who was likely working for the country’s special services. This information was confirmed to us by two sources - among the Dagestan authorities and in the FSB itself.

The sources specify that intelligence information was received about the appearance in the city of several suspicious men who could be connected to each other. In particular, one of them was put under surveillance. During an attempt to detain him on the outskirts of the city, he opened fire, killing two special service officers.

The Iranian himself was wounded, as a result of which he died. On instructions from Moscow, it was ordered not to disclose the information publicly. A dialogue is currently underway at the interstate level. Official Moscow does not want to spoil relations with such an important ally as Tehran. At the same time, the FSB is outraged that the Union Republic is engaged in espionage on the territory of our country.

I haven’t found anyone else writing about this, so unsure of the veracity.
