Iran nominates Rocket Maker as Defense Minister
An Iranian report indicates that President Masoud Beshkamián has nominated Mehrdad Akhlaki Ketabgai for the position of Minister of Defense. He is a figure with strong links to Iran's missile and space industries and is currently holding a position related to the Defense Industries Organization. The nomination comes after the post had been vacant since the previous minister was killed in February. It is expected that Parliament will vote to confirm him, although approval is usually routine in Iran. Akhlaki Ketabgai is considered one of the key officials in the missile and aviation sectors and is listed on international and UN sanctions lists due to his involvement in the development of conventional weapons and missile programs. This underscores the importance of his role in Iran's defense and military strategies.
