ThePresident of Iran is the second formal position after theSupreme leader. The president has the authority to introduce members of hiscabinet to theIranian Parliament for confirmation under theConstitution of Iran.^[1]

Rouhani is the seventh president of Iran which governed within the eleventh government of theIslamic Republic of Iran.

Rouhani appointed Jahangiri as the first vice president.Elham Aminzadeh is another Vice President, who was appointed by Rouhani as his vice president for legal affairs on 11 August.^[2]Mohammad Bagher Nobakht is the other vice president in the cabinet and he is in charge of planning and strategic supervision.^[3]

Rouhani announced his designated cabinet on 4 August 2013. Then, parliament voted to his cabinet. The voting process was begun on 12 August and was ended on 15 August.^[4] The voting was held on 15 August and three of the eighteen nominees were not approved by the Majlis, those proposed to head the ministries of education, science, research and technology; and sports and youth.^[5]

The list of cabinet members received mixed reactions from the Iranian press.^[6] Reformist dailies mostly expressed positive statements about the nominated cabinet members whereasShargh, another reformist paper, regarded the list both satisfactory and unsatisfactory, claiming that it includes a "non-partisan and moderate government" featuring figures from all political parties.^[6]Kayhan, on the other hand, criticized the nomination of oil minister, Bijan Namdar Zanganeh.^[6]

On 8 August 2013, three international organizations, namelyReporters Without Borders,the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, andHuman Rights Watch, requested the withdrawal of Mostafa Pourmohammadi's nomination for the post of justice minister due to his controversial past tenure.^[7] Revolutionary Guards Major GeneralMohammad Ali Jafari criticised Rouhani's administration in December 2013: "The military, systems and procedures governing the administrative system of the country are the same as before, [but it] has been slightly modified and unfortunately infected by Western doctrine, and a fundamental change must occur. The main threat to the revolution is in the political arena and the Guards cannot remain silent in the face of that."^[8]
