Vaezi said the move will have a positive impact due to Larijani’s moderate stance.
“Dr. Larijani’s nonpartisan outlook, developmental leadership style, and moderate approach will contribute to a constructive transformation in the Council’s future policy-making”, Vaezi noted.
He further said this change signals a reinforcement of the values of moderation and rationality in the political arena.
“If this move is aimed at shifting direction and sending a message to the people, I see it as a constructive step”, he added.
President Massoud Pezeshkian on Tuesday appointed Ali Larijani as the new Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), a pivotal position in Iran’s national security architecture.
Larijani served as secretary of the Supreme National Security Council from 2005 to 2007 as well.
