IRGC military commander appointed as Minister of Education in Iran

The Iranian regime’s parliament approved a commander of the terrorist designated Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Yousef Nouri, as the new Minister of Education.

Yousef Nouri has been one of the directors of the IRGC’s two largest economic conglomerates, known as the “Khatam-al Anbiya Construction Headquarters” and the “Martyrs and Veterans Affairs.”

As an IRGC member since the 1980s, Nouri has no experience whatsoever to be qualified for this role, except for sending students to clear minefields during the Iran-Iraq war, and this seems to be his only link to Education.

In his speech at the parliament, Nouri said, today: “We should turn the education system into Qassem Soleimani’s training school, to train students loyal to the Supreme Leader.”

Nouri’s only mission seems to be brainwashing Iranian children at a young age and turning them into extremists, rather than allowing them to study in a healthy environment, where they can flourish like children in other countries and find the right path for themselves.

With the appointment of an IRGC commander as the Education Minister, the number of IRGC and members of the Quds Force in Raisi’s cabinet will reach 13, including nine ministers (Ministers of Interior, Foreign Affairs, Roads and Urban Development, Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts, Energy, Sports, Science, Research and Technology, Health, and Education) and three of his deputies (IRGC Commanders, Mohsen Rezaee, Mohammad Hosseini, Mohammad Eslami), and his Deputy Chief Executive and Head of the Presidential Institution, Ali Ghoraishi.

In addition, on November 21, 2021, in the midst of the protests in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Brig. Gen. Gholam-Ali Heydari was appointed governor of that Province. At the same time, Hassan Bahramnia, a Heydari’s colleague, was appointed as the Governor of Ilam. Raisi has appointed eight other IRGC commanders as governors, including the governors of West Azerbaijan, Khorasan Razavi, Bushehr, Hormozgan, Lorestan, Ilam, Qom, and Khuzestan. He is moving to completely militarize the Interior Ministry.
