Bagheri Kani appointed as head of int'l committee of Iran's Foreign Ministry

Tehran, IRNA – Iran's government cabinet has appointed Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani as the head of the international committee of Iran's Foreign Ministry, following the martyrdom of Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian in a helicopter crash.

Iran's Government Spokesman Ali Bahadori Jahromi made the announcement on Monday.

The Islamic Republic of Iran’s Guardian Council spokesman Hadi Tahan-Nazif had said that according to the Constitution, the vice president would take over as interim president with the Supreme Leader’s approval.

In an interview on Monday, Tahan-Nazif said that with the Supreme Leader’s approval, a council consisting of the Iranian judiciary chief, parliament speaker, and vice president would take measures to hold presidential elections within 50 days.

On Sunday, President Raisi was returning from a ceremony to open the Qiz Qalasi Dam, jointly built with the Republic of Azerbaijan, to Tabriz to inaugurate another project when his helicopter crashed in the Dizamar forest area in Varzaqan region between the village of Ouzi and Pir Davoud.
