Amir Hatami

Major General Amir Hatami is a prominent Iranian military officer, currently serving as the commander-in-chief of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army. His leadership role was solidified following the promotion of Abdolrahim Mousavi to Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, a transition that occurred after the tragic assassination of his predecessor, Mohammad Bagheri, during the Twelve-Day War.

In addition to his command responsibilities, Hatami holds the position of Advisor to the Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Armed Forces regarding Army Affairs. His extensive experience in military operations and strategy has positioned him as a key figure in Iran's defense establishment.

Hatami's political career includes his appointment as the Minister of Defense of Iran, a role he assumed on the eighth of August in the year two thousand seventeen. His confirmation by the parliament on the twentieth of August in the same year was marked by a significant vote of confidence, receiving two hundred sixty-one votes in favor, ten against, thirteen abstentions, and four invalid votes.
