Decree [Appointment of two members of the Supreme Defense Council]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

In order to create the armed forces of the country qualitatively and quantitatively, there is a need to make as much benefit as possible from the experience of individuals who have been involved with the war issues. On this account, I appoint Colonel Sayyad Shirazi and the IRGC Commander as members of the Supreme Defense Council up to the end of the war. I beseech God, the Exalted, to grant success to all in serving Islam and the country.
