In June 2025, Reuters cited Iranian sources as saying that Mir Hejazi serves as the deputy for political-security affairs in the office of the Supreme Leader. The report noted that he plays a role in making highly sensitive security decisions and is often described as “the most powerful intelligence official in Iran.”
