Ebrahim Azizi, the head of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the Islamic Republic of Iran, said on Sunday, November 15, about the plan to amend the conditions for the appointment of the Minister of Information, that the purpose of this plan is not to remove the requirement of Ijihad, but to provide a basis for the use of expert forces in the administrative ranks of the Islamic Republic of Iran's Ministry of Information.
In an interview with IRNA, Azizi added that if a person has worked as an expert in the Ministry of Information for many years and has security expertise and experience, having an Ijihad is a right for him, but choosing a person outside of this group who only has a state of Etihad and lacks knowledge and information experience cannot benefit the security apparatus.
Azizi emphasized that this plan is still under review and expert proposals will be received in the coming days.
