- the chief of the general staff
- the commander in chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps

After the constitutional reform of 1989, the Defense Council became a National Security Council , which was expanded in terms of personnel and organization. In addition to the chief judge, the chairman of the Guardian Council , foreign minister, state minister and the head of the secret service , the finance minister was accepted into the security council. The chairman or secretary of the Security Council, currently Ali Shamchani , is appointed by the president, and all other members by virtue of his office are the leaders of the revolution.
