Amoli Larijani’s Reappointment, Ahmadinejad’s Dismissal
Exclusive to Iran Gate
With the end of August, the fifth term of the Expediency Discernment Council will also conclude, and we should expect the issuance of new decrees for the members of the sixth term. With Mohsen Rezaee leaving the position of Secretary of the Council, a new policy of downsizing the secretariat has been implemented by Zolghadr, the new Secretary of the Expediency Discernment Council. According to reports, the departure of former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad seems certain, and the extension of Amoli Larijani’s presidency is also definite. Given the policy of downsizing the affiliated offices of the council and the adjustment of human resources in this institution, it seems that the political role and influence of the council will become even more limited.
