Mohsen Rezaei Appointed Head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council
Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has appointed former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander Mohsen Rezaei as his representative and secretary of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), replacing Mohammad Baqer Zolghadr. Rezaei, a veteran military and political figure who led the IRGC during the Iran-Iraq war, has held various senior roles including vice president for economic affairs. Zolghadr was reassigned as a political adviser to Khamenei. The SNSC coordinates Iran's security and foreign policy, with Khamenei holding significant influence. This leadership change occurs amid ongoing talks about reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
