Seven months after Aziz Nasirzadeh, Iran's defense minister, was killed in a ground attack, a motion of confidence was put to parliament by Ali Khamenei, Iran's defense minister.

The President of Iran appointed Mehrad Ahli to the Parliament for the position of Minister of Defense.

Iranian media have not yet released a photo of Mr. Ahlaki.

The vote of confidence in him should take place after reviewing his records in related committees. Due to the circumstances of the declared war, the Iranian parliament will not be held in its regular place and will be held in the form of an online seminar.

IRNA, Iran's state news agency, says Mehrad Ahli was the first director of Iran's aerospace industry.

His name is on the US and EU sanctions list.

Aziz Nasirzadeh, Iran's Minister of Defense, was killed in a simultaneous ground attack by the US and hostages on the office of the leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran at the time on March 9 last year, along with Ali Khamenei and a number of other commanders and political officials. Since then, the Ministry of Defense of Iran has been managed by its head, who is currently Majed Ibnal Reza.
