The leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khmenei has appointed the former Iranian parliament speaker Ali Larjiani as his advisor and a member of the Expediency Council.

In a decree on Thursday, the Iranian leader appointed the veteran politician, who served for 12 years as the parliament speaker, as his new advisor.
