Mokhber led the Iranian supreme leader’s multibillion-dollar charitable conglomerate for 14 years.
Mohammad Mokhber is Iran’s interim president now after late President Ebrahim Raisi and other officials were confirmed killed in a helicopter crash and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei approved his accession to the role.
The former first vice president held an extraordinary meeting with judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the parliament speaker, on Monday morning.
As per the constitution, the three must set things in motion for a new presidential election to be held within 50 days.
Mokhber will remain interim president until then. “We will follow the path of Raisi in doing the duties entrusted without any disruptions,” he was quoted as saying by state media.
Mokhber was appointed first vice president by Raisi in August 2021, shortly after Raisi took office.
