Iran's President Appoints Moderate Politician to Top Security Post

IRAN, AUG 5 – Ali Larijani returns to lead Iran's top security council amid post-conflict reforms and rising regional tensions following the June war with Israel, tasked with boosting defense coordination.

  • Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian has appointed veteran politician Ali Larijani as the new secretary for the country's highest security body, the Supreme National Security Council.
  • The appointment of the 67-year-old moderate conservative Larijani is seen as a sign that Iran's theocracy is seeking to shift from a hardline course toward a more moderate one.
  • Larijani's role appears to be one of crisis management, which also includes managing compromise as Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei consistently avoids having any compromise attributed directly to him.
