Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei appointed Peyman Jebeli as the new head of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting.
In a decree on Wednesday, Ayatollah Khamenei thanked outgoing IRIB head Abdolali Al-Asgari for “his tireless and diligent efforts as a faithful and devoted manager” and wished success for Jebeli in his new post, according to Leader.ir
“I appoint you as the chairman of that organization for a period of five years,” Ayatollah Khamenei said, citing his “religious and revolutionary qualifications, long expertise and experience in the management of the IRIB and knowledge of the nature, function and duties of the state broadcaster.”
"The state broadcaster is a university for raising the level of public awareness and knowledge, and a platform for confronting the hostile waves of distortion and sedition, and a sanctuary for everyone’s eyes and hearts to enjoy the effects of beauty and art, and a place to spread hope and joy in the public space of the country,” the Leader said.
Jebeli is a university professor and a leading expert and analyst on political matters.
He served as the chief executive officer of the IRIB World Service as per a directive issued on August 14, 2016.
