# Pezeshkian is inaugurated as the ninth president of Iran

Date: 2024

## The fact

On 28 July 2024 [Masoud Pezeshkian](/people/masoud-pezeshkian) took the oath as ninth president of Iran in the Majlis, with [Ali Khamenei](/people/ali-khamenei) still Supreme Leader.

## Context

Neighbouring runoff is 5 July. Neighbouring Aref VP is later appointment. He did not write the Leader’s decree of confirmation.

5 July runoff is neighbouring. [Hijab](/people/riad-hijab)/execution non-repeal is later practice.

The President of Iran is head of the executive, not commander-in-chief of the IRGC or the armed forces. That command sits with the Supreme Leader. Pezeshkian does not write IAEA Board resolutions, [US Treasury](/organizations/us-treasury) designations, or Israeli cabinet strike orders. An IRGC operation is not automatically his Fact.

## Evidence and sources

Presidency of the Islamic Republic of Iran carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [social cohesion](/drivers/social-cohesion): a completed oath after a snap race is an orderly executive succession instrument. An oath is not a powershift from the Leader.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 28 July 2024 inauguration, independently reported.

Not established: that the IRGC reported to him as commander, or a unique later CPI coefficient from the oath.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

The Majlis sat. The Leader confirmed. The IRGC still answered to the Leader.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Pezeshkian is inaugurated as the ninth president of Iran, not a later speech about Pezeshkian is inaugurated as the ninth president of Iran.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Pezeshkian is inaugurated as the ninth president of Iran on 2024-07-28 is not a licence to treat every later Presidency of the Islamic Republic of Iran communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Pezeshkian is inaugurated as the ninth president of Iran into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He took the oath. The Majlis sat. The Leader confirmed. The IRGC still answered to the Leader. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
