Bagheri Kani appointed as secretary of Iran’s Council on Foreign Relations
Former Iranian acting foreign minister Ali Bagheri Kani has been appointed as secretary of Iran's Strategic Council on Foreign Relations.
The appointment was made on Saturday upon a decree by Kamal Kharrazi, the head of Iran’s Strategic Council on Foreign Relations.
Bagheri Kani succeeded Abbas Araqchi, the current Iranian Foreign Minister. During a ceremony, Araqchi was appreciated for his great efforts during his tenure.
In a decree on August 31, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei appointed Bagheri Kani as a member of the council. Meanwhile, Araqchi also on Monday appointed the former acting foreign minister as his advisor.
Bagheri Kani became Iran’s interim foreign minister after his predecessor Hossein Amir-Abdollahian died in a tragic helicopter crash along with President Ebrahim Raeisi and six others on May 19.
