  • Spotlight on Iran
    Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center Spotlight on Iran August 2009—Mordad 1388 Editor: Raz Zimmt The president introduces his ministerial candidates: women named to cabinet for the first time since the Islamic revolution This week President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has introduced his choices for the new government’s ministers. For the first time since the Islamic revolution, the president is planning to allow women become ministers in his government. The president has nominated Fatemeh Ajorloo for welfare and social affairs minister, Dr. Marzieh Vahid Dastjerdi for health minister, and Dr. Sousan Keshavarz for education minister. Ajorloo, 43, a psychologist by trade, is currently a member of the Majles. She formerly served in various positions in the Revolutionary Guards, the students’ Basij, and various Majles committees. Dastjerdi, 50, a physician by trade and former Majles member, formerly served in senior positions in the Health Ministry and was the director of several hospitals. Keshavarz, who holds a doctorate in the philosophy of education, was formerly the deputy minister of education. Left to right: Keshavarz (IBNA News Agency), Dastjerdi, Ajorloo (Mardomak website) There have been no women ministers since the Islamic revolution (1979), although in 1997 President Mohammad Khatami did appoint a woman for vice president for the first time. Ahmadinejad also appointed a woman for vice president in his previous government (there are eight vice presidents serving under the president of Iran). The president intends to retain Foreign

Introduction The 11th Iranian presidential election is due to take place on 14 June 2013, a year which Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamene'i has described as the "year of the political and economic epic". The election is seen by many as a possible turning point for the country's domestic and foreign policy. Apart from the ongoing nuclear stand-off with the West, Iran faces major economic challenges as it comes to grips with far-reaching US-EU sanctions. The 2013 election will mark the end of President Mahmud Ahmadinezhad's turbulent two terms in office. Iranian law limits the presidency to two consecutive terms only. The last presidential election in 2009 was marked by widespread protests following the controversial victory of Ahmadinezhad. He was declared winner with a reported 63 per cent of the votes. Opposition Green candidate Mirhoseyn Musavi and reformist Mehdi Karrubi disputed the figure and put Ahmadinezhad's victory down to vote-rigging and "election engineering".

Spending most of his career in the judiciary, three factors can explain Raisi’s ascendance: promotion by Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, an influential family network, and a knack for leveraging state positions to feed his ambition. Raisi has spent his career developing his image as an anti- corruption crusader – a selective crusade that does not target his close allies. In recent years, Raisi has emerged as a leading candidate to succeed the 82-year old Khamenei,

  • The Challenges of Rohani's Second Term
    ARI 83/2017 30 October 2017 The challenges of Rohani’s second term Luciano Zaccara | Research Assistant Professor in Gulf Politics, Qatar University, Visiting Assistant Professor, Georgetown University in Qatar, and Director of Observatorio Político y Electoral del Mundo Árabe y Musulmán (OPEMAM) Theme What are the domestic constraints (from the Revolutionary Guard to economic restrictions) and the external challenges (from the new tightening of US-Saudi relations to the crisis in the Gulf Cooperation Council) that re-elected President Hassan Rohani will face over the next four years? Summary The renewed mandate of Hassan Rohani, begun on 3 August, represents continuity on the road to moderation both at home and abroad. However, despite a more reformist government than the last, no significant change is expected in foreign policy beyond the maintenance of previously acquired commitments to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and more engagement with Europe. On the contrary, the new anti- Iranian rhetoric of Saudi Arabia and the US, and the deep diplomatic crisis at the heart of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) could produce a hardening of Rohani’s discourse about traditional adversaries and new challenges. The President will need to face not just foreign but also domestic policy challenges, including the Revolutionary Guard and its growing political and economic power, as well as the terrorism that broke out in June in the Iranian capital. Analysis The beginning of a second term and a new government Once the scattered doubts of the followers of Ibrahim Raisi, the defeated candidate in the 19 May elections, had been put to rest, Hassan Rohani was proclaimed the 12th President in the republican political history of Iran.1 The seventh person to occupy the position since its creation in 1979, Rohani is the fifth President after Ali Khamenei, Hashemi Rafsanjani, Mohammad Jatamí and Mahmud Ahmadineyad to enjoy the maximum two consecutive terms permitted by the constitution.

  • Assessing Ahmadinejad's Closed Circle
    THE GULF Date Posted online at jiaa.janes.com: 26-Jan-2010 Jane's Islamic Affairs Analyst Assessing Ahmadinejad's closed circle Key Points • Ahmadinejad's network is a closed circle composed of his university alumni, previous colleagues and former IRGC officers. • A small network has its advantages as it is cohesive and relatively easy for Ahmadinejad to control, but Ahmadinejad may find himself forced to use extreme measures to balance his political rivals. • It may be the IRGC which reaps the fruit of Ahmadinejad's efforts and future generations may look back at Ahmadinejad as a useful tool for the Guards. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has surrounded himself with trusted college alumni, former IRGC fighters and relatives. Ali Alfoneh looks at the advantages and disadvantages of having such a small advisory group, and predicts the long-term impact of Ahmadinejad's decision. "Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are," the saying goes and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's second cabinet surely says a good deal about who he is. Ahmadinejad presented his 21-minister cabinet to parliament in two rounds: 20 August 2009, where 18 of his cabinet candidates gained a parliamentary vote of confidence thanks to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's intervention, and on 15 November 2009 where the cabinet was completed. In addition, since the 12 June election, Ahmadinejad has appointed 14 vice-presidents and advisers by presidential decree, bringing his immediate network up to 35, as reported by the Iranian presidency's website. With the exception of Prime Minister Mehdi Bazargan's transitional government (1979), all cabinets in the history of the Islamic Republic have been broad coalition governments representing powerful elite groups such as various factions among revolutionary Shia clergy, the traditional bazaar class, technocratic elites recruited from the now defunct Islamic Republican Party, modern business elites of the 1990's, and members of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).
