Iran Assures Continuity of Governance Amidst Leadership Transition Process

Tehran. Amidst the leadership transition process in Iran, there are indications that a power vacuum will not be created in the country. The state structures of Iran are still operating regularly, said Hassan Ahmadian, an associate professor at Tehran University. Speaking to Al Jazeera, he stated that the country's important strategic decisions are currently being made through the Leadership Council and the Supreme National Security Council.

According to Ahmadian, these bodies first prepare strategic decisions, and then those proposals are sent to the Leadership Council. The Council adopts the process of approving or amending the decision if necessary. He clarified that this process is proceeding according to Iran's normal political decision-making system. He also mentioned that the process for selecting the new leadership, as per Iran's constitution, is moving forward.

According to him, reports have emerged that discussions are taking place within the Guardian Council. “I do not see any situation where there will be a power vacuum in Iran,” Ahmadian said.
