The moderate Hassan Rohani succeeded Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the President,awakening conservative fears. In spite of his declared will to liberalize society, his main goal is to find a solution to the nuclear issue through negotiations. Thus, to untie his hands, the President makes concessions on social issues. Last June, a petition from the Majlis, the Iranian Constitutive Assembly, signed by 195 of its members, urged to fight the “cultural invasion” threatening the existence of the Islamic system and its moral purity.
