Mohsen Rezaei Named Secretary of Iran Security Council
The appointment of Mohsen Rezaei as Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council comes within the context of the intertwining of war and negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz. This appointment followed the resignation of Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who emphasized that the strait would only be opened to navigation if Washington changed its behavior. The decision was made amid high political and military tensions in the country. Rezaei holds a historic military position, having led the Revolutionary Guard for 16 years, and is accustomed to managing relations between politicians and military officials. This background enhances his potential role in managing issues related to war and potential negotiations with Washington over the Strait of Hormuz. The appointment had been considered for about a week and is part of Iran's strategic moves amid regional tensions, with negotiations over the situation in the strait and U.S. policies toward Iran seeing periods of escalation or retreat.
