⚡️🇮🇷 — Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has officially accepted the resignation of Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad, which was submitted for personal reasons. According to the government spokesperson, Paknejad had intended to step down and raised the matter previously, but the president initially rejected the request. Since presidential approval is legally required for a ministerial resignation to take effect in Iran, the departure became official only after Pezeshkian's final endorsement. — Tasnim
➡️ To oversee the ministry on an interim basis during this transition, the president appointed Hamid Bord (also spelled Hamid Bovard) as acting oil minister. Bord is a prominent technical figure and a veteran executive within the Islamic Republic's energy sector. Prior to this appointment, he served as the Managing Director of the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), the state-owned oil giant, a position he had held since August 2024.
With extensive leadership experience heading other key state energy subsidiaries—such as the Iranian Offshore Oil Company (IOOC) and the National Iranian South Oil Company (NISOC)—Bord now steps in to steer the ministry through this critical period for the country's strategic resources.
