Role: President of Iran (head of government) (2021-)

Ebrahim Raisi has risen through the ranks as a staunch conservative and advocate for strict adherence to Islamic law. With a background rooted in seminary education, Raisi has held several key positions, including prosecutor general and custodian of Astan Quds Razavi.

In 2021, he was elected president. Known for his anti-corruption crusades and state-led economic development stance, Raisi prioritises regional relations, particularly with neighbouring and Asian powers, while maintaining a reserved approach towards Europe and North America.
