Iran Organizational Chart

I wanted to pass along this chart courtesy of Nathan Gonzalez, author of Engaging Iran: The Rise of a Middle East Powerhouse and America’s Strategic Choice, by way of the Monkey Cage's Joshua Tucker. The chart shows the organizational structure of the Iranian government and society. I wish I would've had this in my hands a couple of weeks ago when I kept hearing about the Expediency Council, Assembly of Experts, Guardian Council, Basij and a host of others without knowing where they stood relative to each other.
