TEHRAN – Most likely, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian would be the next advisor to Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani on international affairs, Fars let slip on Sunday.

Amir-Abdollahian was previously deputy foreign minister for Arab and African affairs, recently replaced by Hossein Jabberi Ansari, who acted as the foreign ministry spokesman.
He had previously acted as Iran’s ambassador to Bahrain and represented Tehran in the Syrian peace talks.
Currently, Amir-Abdollahian is advisor to Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad zarif and it is not yet clear if he will remain in the post.
