Iran's First Vice President Mohammad Mokhabar was appointed Acting President of the Islamic Republic on 20 May 2024 following the death of President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash in the northwestern region of the country.
Mokhabar, 68, has largely stayed away from the spotlight compared to other political leaders in Iran's Shiite theocracy.
He can serve as acting president for about 50 days before the presidential election in Iran.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei announced Mokhabar's appointment in a condolence message issued on Raisi's death in the accident on 19 May 2024. Mokhabar has held key positions in the government.
