Iran Appoints Former IRGC Chief as Top Security Official Amid Hormuz Re Opening Talks The appointment of Mohsen Rezaei, a former commander in chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), to head Iran's Supreme National Security Council has sent shockwaves through the country's security establishment.
This move is part of a series of high profile appointments and resignations that have left many questioning Tehran's leadership intentions.
Rezaei's extensive experience within the IRGC, which he led from 1981 to 1997, including some of the most critical years of the Iran Iraq war, has not wavered over time.
