Politics of Iran

The politics of Iran take place in a framework of a theocracy in a format of Syncretic politics that is guided by an Islamist ideology. The December 1979 constitution, and its 1989 amendment, define the political, economic, and social order of the Islamic Republic of Iran, declaring that Shi'a Islam of the Twelver school of thought is Iran's official religion.Iran has an elected president, parliament (or Majlis), ""Assembly of Experts"" (which elects the Supreme Leader), and local councils. According to the constitution all candidates running for these positions must be vetted by the Guardian Council before being elected.In addition, there are representatives elected from appointed organizations (usually under the Supreme Leader's control) to ""protect the state's Islamic character"".
