Iran’s Shamkhani to Quit


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Ali Shamkhani will reportedly resign his post as the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.

In a post on his Twitter account on Sunday night, the top Iranian security official cited a poem from Iranian poet Mohtasham Kashani, alluding to the recent media speculation about his resignation.

Nour News, affiliated with the Supreme National Security Council, said the meaning of the poem is that Shamkhani will definitely resign from his post.

Shamkhani has held the position since September 2013.
