🔻Mahdi Tabatabai, the Deputy for Communications and Information at the President's Office, announced on X that Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr has been appointed as the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council.

Mr. Tabatabai wrote that this decision was made "with the opinion and approval of the Leader of Iran."

He will succeed Ali Larijani, who was killed in an Israeli attack on March 17 at his daughter's home along with his son, deputy, and bodyguards. [So ultimately, the attack on the Pardis buildings was because of that, and they had falsely denied it?]

Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr became the Secretary of the Expediency Discernment Council in September 2021, replacing Mohsen Rezaei.

Brigadier General Zolqadr is one of the commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and one of the founders of the Ramadan Forward Operating Base, which later led to the formation of the Quds Force (the IRGC's overseas branch) based on the mechanisms and activities of this base.
