First vice president of Iran (Persian : معاون اول رئیسجمهور ایران) is defined by article 124 of the Constitution of Iran as anyone appointed by the President of Iran to lead an organization related to presidential affairs in Iran. As of 2025[update] , there are fifteen vice presidents. The first vice president leads cabinet meetings in the absence of the president.[1]
First Vice President
[edit ]The role of the first vice president was created in the revision of the Constitution in 1989. It took over some of the responsibilities of the prime minister. According to Article 124, the first vice president chairs the board of ministers and coordinates the other vice presidencies, if approved by the president.
According to Article 131, when the presidency is vacant or the president is unable to perform his duties, the first vice president assumes the role, subject to the supreme leader's approval. According to the same article, a council consisting of the first vice president (or anyone serving as acting president), the speaker of the Parliament and the head of the judiciary must ensure that a new president is elected within fifty days. According to Article 132, during the time an acting president is serving (usually a first vice president), the Majlis cannot impeach ministers, it cannot disapprove newly introduced ministers, the Constitution may not be reviewed and national referendums may not be held.
