On February 26, Iran held its first elections since the signing of the nuclear deal. A coalition of left-leaning reformists and moderate centrists who support President Rouhani fought hard against conservatives in the nationwide elections for a new parliament and a new Assembly of Experts. The coalition did not win a majority in either body, but the results are widely seen as a victory for moderation and a referendum on the nuclear accord and rapprochement with the West.
