Referring to the recent resignation of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, the Jomhouri Eslami [Islamic Republic] published a commentary on Monday, August 31 claiming that some elderly Iranian politicians have difficulty walking, yet still hold sensitive positions. The daily, whose managing editor is Massih Mohajeri, a cleric close to the core of the Iranian regime, did not refer to any particular Iranian politician. \u2026 How about 89-year-old Guardian Council and Expediency Council member Ayatollah Mohammad Yazdi, who are confined to wheelchairs because of old age, but still hold more than one key position requiring agility and sharpness in decision-making. Yazdi was recently elected as a member of the Assembly of Experts, which is at least his third key position. \u2026 One of the most well-known elderly politicians in Iran who has been the subject of many jokes and cartoons is Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, 93, Chairman of the Assembly of Experts and the secretary of the Guardian Council.\u201d\u00a0 And don\u2019t forget the Leader himself\u2014at 83.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIran\u2019s Khamenei says Israel deal &#8216;betrayal&#8217; of Islamic world by UAE,\u201d Dawn, Sep 1, 2020. \u201cIran nuclear deal parties meet amid US pressure,\u201d France 24, September 1, 2020. \u201cIran imposes double execution on champion wrestler for peacefully protesting regime,\u201d Benjamin Weinthal | Fox News, September 1, 2020. \u201cIran, 5 nations discuss moving forward with 2015 &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coatesn\/2020\/09\/01\/1597\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2819,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2532],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-update"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coatesn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coatesn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coatesn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coatesn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2819"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coatesn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1597"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coatesn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1597\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1740,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coatesn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1597\/revisions\/1740"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coatesn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coatesn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coatesn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
