Iran’s Khamenei Appoints Infamous Figure As Police Chief

Khamenei ordered the police department to “improve its capabilities,” as well as “train specialized forces for various security sectors.” Radan, born in 1963, was deputy police chief from 2008 to 2014 and went on to lead the police’s Centre for Strategic Studies. He was replaced as deputy by Ashtari, who was made the force’s commander in 2015.
