Iran names Mohsen Rezaei as new secretary of Supreme National Security Council

The Iranian government has appointed Mohsen Rezaei as the new secretary of the Supreme National Security Council. Rezaei, who was head of the Revolutionary Guard for 16 years, has served in various political roles in the country.

Rezaei's appointment comes in a context of confrontation with the United States, particularly regarding the situation in the Strait of Hormuz. Tensions between Iran and the United States have escalated, especially in the realm of regional security.

This appointment comes at a critical time, as Rezaei is considered a veteran of the hardline faction of the Revolutionary Guard, which could influence Iran's security policy towards foreign nations. Reports indicate that his experience is seen as an important factor in this new responsibility.
