Iran has appointed former IRGC commander Mohsen Rezaei as secretary of the Supreme National Security Council amid tensions over the Strait of Hormuz. Rezaei, who led the IRGC from 1981 to 1997, replaces Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr. The appointment comes as Iran uses the strait as leverage in its conflict with the US and Israel.
