TEHRAN – The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Chamenei, has appointed Dr. Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr as his political advisor. The decision was announced through an official decree, in which the new advisor will be responsible for providing political consultations and supporting the promotion of the principles and ideals of the Islamic Revolution.
In the decree, Chamenei particularly praised Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr's previous experience. According to the text, his professional and political experience is the main reason for his appointment to the new position. "Considering your valuable experience, I hereby appoint you as my political advisor," the decree states. Chamenei also wished Zolqadr success in fulfilling his new responsibilities and promoting the ideals of the Islamic Revolution.
The appointment comes at a time when Iranian leadership is facing a complex regional and international environment. The role of political advisor in the highest structures of Iran can therefore be significant in formulating positions on domestic policy, foreign relations, and security issues. The decree is formulated in the traditional religious and political style of the Iranian leadership. It also contains a reference to Bāqiyatu'llāh al-A'ẓama, which is a religious title associated in Shia tradition with the expected arrival of Imam al-Mahdi. Chamenei expressed confidence that Zolqadr would receive the necessary support in carrying out his new duties.
The newly appointed advisor, Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr, is one of the figures associated with the Iranian political and security environment. His experience may be significant, especially when assessing strategic issues that Iran faces in connection with developments in the Middle East and relations with foreign powers. However, according to the published decree, the appointment does not represent a change in the political direction of the Iranian leadership.
On the contrary, the document emphasizes the continuation of promoting the ideals of the Islamic Revolution and providing expert advice to the highest representative of the country. The appointment of Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr fits into the broader system of political decision-making in the Islamic Republic of Iran, where advisors to the Supreme Leader play an important role in preparing positions and evaluating domestic and international developments.
