Iran during Ibrahim Raisi’s administration: the cabinet structure and the challenges

After eight years of a moderate cabinet, the Iran government has come under the control of the conservatives in its five decades rule. In a complicated process of filtering the candidates and in the 2021 election, Ibrahim Raisi became the new Iranian president. When Raisi takes charge, Iran is going through a plethora of regional and international challenges and unresolved issues. Handling any of those issues will not just have internal but also regional implications for the whole region too. This research aims to provide answers for the questions: who are the main figures in Raisi’s cabinet and what are the local and international challenges awaiting this cabinet along with the possible scenarios? The method used in the research is descriptive analysis; it has used electronic references, Raisi’s agenda speech, analyses and briefings. It also analyses the discourse of decision-makers who are related to the research.
