President urges critics to avoid prejudgment about cabinet
Pezeshkian’s comments came after a number of individuals in Iran’s Reformist camp criticized the proposed list of ministers submitted to the Parliament on Sunday.
In a message posted on his X account on Tuesday, the Iranian president called the Iranian people as the great asset of the government, praising their attention and sensitivity towards proposed cabinet members as valuable. He noted that “indifference to the conduct of politicians has now turned into criticism. This means we have taken a step forward.”
Pezeshkian submitted the list of his new cabinet members to Parliament on Sunday, less than two weeks after he was sworn in before the country’s legislators.
During separate meetings on Sunday with representatives from the provinces of Fars, Sistan and Baluchestan, and Kerman, the president said that one of the cabinet’s main features is its cross-partyness, adding that the formation of the cabinet focused on the criteria of capability, expertise, and relevant experience of individuals.
The president presented his cabinet’s lineup in a letter to Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, with the legislative body officially commencing the process of reviewing the proposed ministers’ qualifications.
Pezeshkian urged all members of Parliament and national elites to assist the government in appointing managers and officials of executive agencies based on the stated qualities.
In response to the issues raised by the representatives, the president emphasized that the new government will allocate the country’s resources with care and precision, considering priorities and areas of deprivation in pursuit of justice and
rights.
