Iran’s Shamkhani steps down as top security official – state media – Reuters
DUBAI, May 22 (Reuters) - Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi has appointed Revolutionary Guards commander Ali Akbar Ahmadian as the country's top security official, Iranian state media reported on Monday, replacing Ali Shamkhani.
The move comes days after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei stressed flexibility in foreign policy whenever necessary to overcome any obstacles.
Shamkhani, who was appointed the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) in 2013, served as defence minister under two-term reformist president Mohammad Khatami from 1997 to 2005.
