Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his proposed Interior Minister, Brig. Gen. Ahmad Vahidi

Iran’s new President Ebrahim Raisi has named a Cabinet of hardliners, conservatives, and Revolutionary Guards commanders.

There were few surprises among the names presented on Wednesday by Raisi, the judiciary head selected by the Supreme Leader’s office to win in June’s managed election.

Long-time diplomat Hossein Amir Abdollahian was nominated as Foreign Minister. He was Deputy Foreign minister for Arab and African Affairs from 2011 to 2016, and then became special advisor for foreign affairs for the Parliament Speaker.

The nomination of Abdollahian, who is close to the Revolutionary Guards, was expected since Raisi’s victory. He has been in key meetings with foreign diplomats, including the European Union’s broker for the Vienna nuclear talks, Enrique Mora.

More controversial will be the naming of Brig. Gen. Amir Vahidi as Interior Minister. A Revolutionary Guards commander and former Defense Minister, he is wanted by Interpol over his alleged role in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish cultural center in Buenos Aires, Argentina which killed 85 people and wounded hundreds.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry said Vahidi’s nomination is “shameful”.

Another Revolutionary Guards commander and former Oil Minister, Gen. Rostam Qassemi, is the proposed Roads and Urban Development Minister. Gen. Mohammad Reza Ashtiani, a former deputy chief of staff of the armed forces, was named as Defense Minister.

Javad Owji, a longtime official in Iran’s oil and gas sector, is put forward as Oil Minister. Ali Akbar Mehrabian, a politician who was Industry Minister from 2007 to 2011, was selected for the Energy Department.

The former head of the Supreme Audit Court, Amin-Hossein Rahimi, was nominated as Justice Minister. Esmail Khatib, the former head of the judiciary’s intelligence directorate, is set to become Intelligence Minister.

The Iranian Parliament will now consider the nomination. With the legislature also led by hardliners, no rejections are expected.
