Bodyguards of Ebrahim Raisi, the 8th President in homeland

Raisi meanwhile appointed former IRGC commander-in-chief Mohsen Rezaee as the Vice President for Economic Affairs on 25 August. He also appointed him as the Secretary of the Supreme Council for Economic Coordination, as well as the Secretary of the Iranian government’s Economic Committee. On 26 August, Iran had a renewed diplomatic clash with Argentina, when the latter condemned the appointment of Rezaee. Rezaee is also wanted by Argentina for alleged involvement in the AMIA bombing. Argentina “energetically” condemned his designation and added that “it must cooperate with the investigation” and added again that Rezaee’s designation was another “affront to the Argentine justice”.
