Iran is an Islamic republic with elected institutions operating alongside religious and constitutional authorities. The President leads the executive branch and oversees the administration of government, implementation of laws, economic policy and many aspects of foreign and domestic policy. The Islamic Consultative Assembly, commonly known as the Majles, serves as the national legislature and is responsible for debating and passing legislation, approving the national budget and exercising oversight of the executive branch.
Iran’s political system also includes the Supreme Leader, who holds extensive constitutional authority over major state institutions and national security matters. The judiciary operates as a separate branch headed by a chief appointed under the country’s constitutional structure, while bodies including the Guardian Council play important roles in reviewing legislation and supervising elections. Political debate in Iran is shaped by competing factions, economic conditions, social issues, regional security and international relations. Together, these institutions influence how policy is developed, reviewed and carried out across the country.
