Zarif was one of the most prominent reformist figures
backing Pezeshkian during his presidential campaign. The former foreign
minister became a household name after he brokered the Joint Comprehensive Plan
of Action (JCPOA) in 2015.
The council, comprised of experts and advisors, will focus
on assessing potential candidates for key cabinet positions and ensuring a
seamless handover of leadership.
In a message on his X account, Zarif said Pezeshkian has yet
to choose candidates for any vice-presidency or ministerial positions.
"So
far, no candidate for any position, including first vice president, has even
been considered,” the former top diplomat announced. "The review process
will start after receiving proposals from NGOs, scientific associations, trade
associations, and the private sector."
The council is reportedly set to convene meetings with
various stakeholders on Saturday to conduct thorough evaluations of potential
candidates.
Pezeshkian's office had earlier issued a call for input on
cabinet members, inviting a wide range of social groups and political parties
to participate in the process.
