TEHRAN – In separate decrees issued on Saturday, Iranian President Hassan Rohani appointed Jafar Tofiqi as caretaker minister of science, research, and technology and Reza Salehi Amiri as caretaker minister of sports and youth.
The appointments came after Jafar Mili-Monfared and Massoud Soltanifar were rejected by the parliament as science and sports ministers respectively.
Mohammad Ali Najafi also failed to receive a vote of confidence as education minister, and President Rohani has not yet appointed the caretaker of the ministry.
The president has three months to introduce new nominees for the three ministerial posts.
