Iran has appointed Mohammad-Bagher Zolghadr, a senior former Revolutionary Guards commander, as secretary of its Supreme National Security Council, a deputy to the president said.
Mehdi Tabatabaei, a deputy to President Masoud Pezeshkian, said in a post on X that the appointment was approved by the supreme leader and made by the president.
Zolghadr has held senior security roles, including deputy interior minister for security affairs and positions within Iran’s armed forces command structure.
He replaces Ali Larijani, who was killed earlier in the conflict, prompting the leadership change at one of Iran’s top security bodies.

Has Kalshi started taking wagers yet on how many days left for this guy to remain alive?

Nothing says “Get your affairs in order” like being appointed to an Iranian leadership position.

Mossad mole? That’s probably the best life insurance policy. If the Israelis don’t kill him, that’s a sure sign he is a spy and should be hanged.

Wonder if they have a 401k plan and maybe some sort of prophets sharing? Will they give you 24 hours to mullah it over??
