Iran's political adviser Ali Shamkhani warned former US President Trump to stay away from intervening in Iran, as protests against the regime continue with casualties reported, emphasizing Iran's red line on national security.
Ali Shamkhani, a long-time ally of Iran's supreme leader, has stepped down as the country's top security official, two months after signing a China-brokered deal with Saudi Arabia to end a political rift. A Revolutionary Guards commander, Ali Akbar Ahmadian, has replaced Shamkhani. Shamkhani might be considered for a "more important position" in Iran.
Iran's security chief, Ali Shamkhani, has left his post after almost a decade, and has been replaced by Ali Akbar Ahmadian, a senior commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Shamkhani had been instrumental in shaping Iran's security policies in the past decade, including successfully completing a detente with Saudi Arabia. No official reason has been given for his departure, but it may indicate the country is heading in an ever-more conservative direction as Shamkhani was regarded as relatively pragmatic.
