[29/ July/2024]
TEHRAN July 29. 2024 (Saba) - The Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Sunday appointed Mohammad Reza Aref as his first deputy.

In a decree, the Iranian president said that the appointment of Reza Aref to this position came "in view of his competence and valuable experience in management and implementation."

Mohammad Reza Aref previously served as Vice President under former President Mohammad Khatami during the period (1997-2005), and held several other positions, including parliamentary representation of the capital Tehran in parliament, and presidency of Tehran University from 1994 to 1997.

Earlier, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Sayyed Ali Khamenei, announced the appointment of Masoud Pezeshkian as the new president of the country, after his victory in the early elections held following the death of former President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash last May.
