Mojtaba Khamenei says slain father’s appointees to remain in post for now

Mar 16, 2026, 14:37 GMT+0

In a written decree attributed to Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei has ordered that officials who were directly appointed by his slain father should continue in their positions without requiring renewed appointments.

“Following inquiries from some managers and officials of bodies who were directly appointed by the martyred leader, I hereby announce that none of them need a renewal of their appointment for now,” the decree released on Monday said.

He instructed the officials to continue their duties based on the policies and guidance they had received during the lifetime of Ali Khamenei.
