Supreme Leader Appoints Mohsen Rezaei as Military Adviser, Iran State Media Confirms

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has named former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander Mohsen Rezaei as his new military adviser, according to a report by Iran’s Mehr News Agency.

The appointment marks a significant shift in Iran’s strategic leadership structure, as Rezaei, a veteran figure in the country’s military establishment, takes on a direct advisory role to the Supreme Leader. With decades of experience in defence and regional security affairs, his new position is expected to influence Iran’s military policymaking.

According to the report, “Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has appointed former Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps commander Mohsen Rezaei as his military adviser, Iran’s Mehr News Agency reports.” Rezaei previously served at the helm of the IRGC and has remained a prominent figure in Iranian politics and security circles.

Analysts say the appointment could have implications for Iran’s internal military strategy and its posture amid ongoing regional tensions. Further details on Rezaei’s new responsibilities and strategic mandates are yet to be clarified by official sources.
