Iran has named Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, a former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), as the new chief of the Supreme National Security Council, following the death of Ali Larijani in a US-Israeli attack. Zolghadr is expected to replace Larijani, who was a key figure in Iran's nuclear program. The appointment has raised concerns about the implications for Iran's nuclear ambitions.
