Iran’s hard-line parliament has approved all members of reformist President Masoud Pezeshkian’s cabinet, the first time in more than two decades a leader has been able to get all of his officials through the body.

All 19 officials won approval in an afternoon vote, the first time that has happened in Iran since 2001.
