Iran's state media announced today that Ali Bagheri Kani has been appointed as the Deputy for International Affairs at the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC). The appointment was confirmed by Ali Larijani, the council's secretary and Supreme Leader’s personal representative.
Bagheri Kani, a veteran diplomat, previously held the position of Acting Foreign Minister and served as Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs under the late President Ebrahim Raisi. His extensive experience in Iran's foreign policy matters positions him as a key figure in navigating the country's international relations.
This appointment comes amid escalating tensions in the region, with Iranian officials warning against perceived threats from the United States and its allies. As previously reported, Iran's President has voiced concerns about U.S. and Israeli actions, which he claims undermine regional stability. The SNSC plays a critical role in shaping Iran's response to these challenges.
Bagheri Kani's new role will likely influence Iran's diplomatic strategies, particularly as the nation engages with global powers. Observers note that this appointment signals a potential shift in Iran's approach to international negotiations and conflicts.
