Manouchehr Mottaki was earlier removed as the foreign minister and later Hamid Behbahani, Minister of Transportation was impeached by the parliament and failed to receive anther vote of confidence.

Heydar Moslehi was the only member of the clergy in Ahmadinejad’s cabinet and prior to his appointment to the intelligence ministry was the Supreme Leader’s representative in the Donations and Charity Organization.

He had also served as the leader’s representative in the Revolutionary Guard ground force, Basij Resistance and Revolutionary Guards Air Force.

Individuals appointed to the head of the intelligence ministry must also meet the approval of the Supreme Leader.
