Former commander appointed as head of Iran's security

A new person has been appointed to replace Ali Larijani, the head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, who was killed as a result of airstrikes carried out by the United States and Israel at the beginning of March. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

Muhammad Bagir Zolghadr, former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, has been elected to this important position. According to sources from Al Jazeera, this news was officially announced by Masoud Pezeshkian, Iran's vice president for communications.

Zolghadr's appointment to the new position marks significant changes in the country's political and military structure. Analysts believe this appointment will further strengthen the influence of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

This decision comes at a time when uncertainties have increased in the decision-making process on high-level important issues. It should be recalled that on March 18, 2026, Ali Larijani was killed in his residence along with his grandson, close deputies, and several guards under the strike of US and Israeli fighter jets at his daughter's home.

Political observers consider Muhammad Bagir Zolghadr's appointment to the new post to be of crucial importance for Iran's internal political balance and foreign policy direction. This change is seen as an important step aimed at further strengthening national security and increasing military power.

At the same time, the influence of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in political processes will also significantly increase. This event reflects the Iranian leadership's new approach to future strategic plans and ensuring security guarantees.

The country's leaders are striving to maintain stability and improve the security system in the current complex situation.
