TEHRAN: Hardline former top nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili was yesterday appointed to Iran’s top political arbitration body, the Expediency Council, state television reported.
The appointment was made by Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to whom the council provides advice on different national issues.
It comprises high-ranking religious and political figures and former government officials, and is also tasked with resolving legislative issues between the parliament and the Guardians Council, which interprets the constitution.
