Tehran – Ayatollah Seiyed Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Revolution, has reappointed three senior FAQIHS (experts in Islamic law) to the Guardian Council.
According to a statement on Tuesday from the leader’s public relations office, the order retains Ayatollah Alileza Alafi, Ahmad Katami and Ahmad Hosseini Kurosani as administrative members of the council, highlighting the continuity of Iran’s constitutional supervisory body.
The reappointment followed a formal communication from Guardian Council Secretary Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, noting the pressing conclusion of the terms of the members.
According to the leader’s public relations office, Ayatollah Khamenei responded: “In my greeting, I will re-appoint an individual with a respected name as a member of the Guardian Council’s legal scholar.”
This 12 council, consisting of six Islamic jurists appointed by the leader and six civil law experts approved by the judiciary and approved by the parliament, serves as Iran’s constitutional security measures.
It holds three important powers of attorney. Legislative review (the law of rejecting laws that are incompatible with Islamic principles or constitution), candidates for all national elections, and election supervision.
By ensuring that all national actions are consistent with Iran’s Islamic and constitutional foundations, the Council will exercise considerable power and influence on national governance.
