Iran Names Former IRGC Chief Mohsen Rezaei Top Security Council Secretary
发布于
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian appointed former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Mohsen Rezaei as secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council on Sunday. Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei separately named Rezaei as his representative on the council, which coordinates the Islamic Republic's security and foreign policy. Rezaei replaces Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, who resigned and was appointed Khamenei's political adviser. The appointment puts a veteran IRGC commander at the center of Tehran's strategic decisions while Iran and the United States remain at odds over conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
