From Sour Cherry Syrup to Watermelon Slices: Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian Receives Offerings from the Public

According to Saed News, during the final days of Safar last year—shortly after being sworn in as Iran’s ninth president on July 30, 2024—Pezeshkian visited Mashhad, where citizens offered him traditional nazri (religious offerings) of chilled sour cherry syrup and freshly sliced watermelon. These simple tokens, shared in honor of Imam Hussein during the tenth of Muharram mourning rituals, exemplify Shiite devotion and communal solidarity.

Now, nearly a year into his presidency, Pezeshkian’s willingness to accept these humble gifts continues to resonate. On July 2, 2025, he signed into law a new bill suspending Iran’s cooperation with the IAEA—demonstrating his resolve on the international stage—yet images of him sipping syrup and munching watermelon remind Iranians of the personal side of their leader.

Social‑media captions accompanying these photographs invoke the traditional blessing “Ghabool basheh” (“May it be accepted by God”), underlining both the religious significance of nazri and the public’s hope for Pezeshkian’s administration. As tensions over sanctions and nuclear oversight persist, such moments of cultural intimacy play a crucial role in shaping public perceptions of his first year in office.
