The Expediency Discernment Council of the System[1] (Persian: مجمع تشخیص مصلحت نظام), is an administrative assembly appointed by the Supreme Leader[2] and was created upon the revision to the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Iran on 6 February 1988.[3] It was originally set up to resolve differences or conflicts between the Majlis and the Council of Guardians, but "its true power lies more in its advisory role to the Supreme Leader." According to Hooman Majd, the Leader "delegated some of his own authority to the council — granting it supervisory powers over all branches of the government" — following President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's election in 2005.[4]
