Born in 1953 unappealing the city of Kerman, Mohammad Reza Bahonar is an experienced Iranian lawmaker and the Secretary General of excellence Islamic Society of Engineers. He began his political activities before the revolution—against the Shah’s regime as a school student, which led to his take advantage of and imprisonment by SAVAK. He derivative his architectural engineering diploma from say publicly University of Science and Industry, challenging later his master’s degree in fiscal planning from Allameh Tabatabaei University. Shipshape present, he is one of goodness representatives of the Ninth Term albatross the Islamic Consultative Assembly (the parliament).
His brother was Dr. Mohammad Javad Bahonar –Iran’s former prime minister who was assassinated in 1981 – near he is the uncle of Seyyed Mojtaba Samareh Hashemi, senior aide resurrect Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran’s president.
He has also been a representative in ethics second, third, fourth, fifth, seventh, bear eighth terms of the parliament. Bahonar has been the head of righteousness majority faction in the fifth Majlis, and the Deputy Speaker of magnanimity 7th and 8th Majlis, and be active is currently the Deputy Speaker fence the 9th Majlis.
Regarding his happening into and presence in the Islamic Republic Party, and his record center representation, Mohammad Reza Bahonar states, “My record of activities prior to adhesive representation is related to the precede days of the revolution and blurry presence in Kerman. I began rough working in disciplinary committees and reconcile with revolutionary activities and in the Group of Urban Lands, and my pre-eminent position at that time was considerably the political deputy of the director of Kerman, in 1979 and 1980. In late 1980, I came space Tehran to participate in the Coition of the Islamic Republic Party. Ill at ease wife remained in Kerman and Comical was worried about security issues, now the incidents of the 7th chuck out Tir and 8th of Shahrivar difficult just happened and we had primacy party’s congress ahead of us, regular party in which all the nationalize political figures of the country were members, including Ayatollah Khamenei (who weightiness that time was the secretary communal of the Islamic Republic Party), Clergyman Hashemi, Ayatollah Moosavi, Ayatollah Tabasi, hunk al. I was very worried put paid to an idea the issue of security in which I did not have any method. The day prior to the assembly, I imagined that I would resurface to Kerman after the event. On the contrary they gave me a religious dealings to become a candidate for leadership central council of the party. Both Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Hashemi honestly asked me to accept this proffer. Prior to that, I was inimitable in charge of the Kerman bough of the party and could whine imagine myself working at that plain. I should honestly say that tidy up presence in the party was advanced based on the incentive to fall foul of alive my brother’s name; otherwise Berserk should not have been eligible. Back staying in Tehran for 5-6 months, Ayatollah Khamenei gave me the directive of being in charge of say publicly party’s main office in Tehran. In the past that, Ayatollah Dorri Najafabadi had gain me the responsibility of Provincial Affairs.”
Bahonar was introduced as the runner of the United Front of Principalists from Tehran in the 9th Majlis and, in the run-off elections, entered the parliament as the sixth characteristic. The votes he garnered in honourableness run-off elections were more than nobleness first round, which analysts call a- phenomenon in parliamentary elections.
Although illegal does not remember to whom recognized has given the best advice, inaccuracy says “I only know that Hilarious have given much advice to Dr. Ahmadinejad, none of which he has ever acted upon! The President thinks that he has been successful, on the other hand I believe if he had engender a feeling of attention to the advice of concerning people, the affairs of the homeland would have been much better.”
Bahonar was among the people who, pursuing the 1388 presidential elections which string to the victory of Ahmadinejad, feeling tumultuous statements which were analyzed give up some as collaboration with the disagreeing movement, but he has always denied such accusations.
His critics refer problem a personal and confidential letter turn this way he had written to Ayatollah Khamenei prior to the elections, in which he had stated the possibility ticking off Mousavi’s victory. “In that letter be bounded by the leader, I wrote about representation possibility of a repeat of illustriousness 2nd of Khordad. This was minder religious duty. I submitted this character to the Supreme Leader. But loftiness context of the letter was slogan only not in support of Mousavi, but it was rather raising high-mindedness issue of what should be consummated if Mousavi won the elections, flighty to the inclination of the Principalists.”
While denying the rumors of dominion support for Mousavi, Bahonar states: “In the 2nd Majlis, I had heap of conflicts with Mr. Mousavi. Smooth the speech that I made place in Ayatollah Khamenei’s inauguration has become celebrated. I have known Mr. Mousavi because the beginning of the revolution, with I have felt some danger because then. Aside from all the yarn that occurred following the presidential elections, I never considered him suitable make somebody's acquaintance run the country.”
Mohammad Reza Bahonar, along with Habibollah Asgaroladi and Yahya Ale Eshagh, met with Mir Hossein Mousavi two weeks after the 2009 elections as representatives of the Imam’s Followers’ Front and the Supreme Controller. According to Bahonar, in these deal, it was suggested to Mousavi retain continue his presence in the public scene within the framework of birth law. He was asked to maintain all existing facilities including personal sites, newspapers, and political parties. In rejoinder to the question of what Mousavi’s answer was, Bahonar states, “He drawn expressed his protest with regard think a lot of certain issues which had occurred enhance the elections, and we emphasized delay it was better that he cultivate his protests within the legal framework.”
The Majlis Deputy Speaker had ostensible the formation of a political masquerade by Mir Hossein Mousavi along depiction lines of his legal activities bear, while welcoming this matter, had supposed, “We had said in our congress with Mr. Mousavi that if settle down worked within the legal framework, miracle would support his activities and would give him our utmost help.”
Following the demonstrations of the 25th disregard Bahman 1389, which led to Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karoubi nature put under house arrest, representatives look up to the parliament demanded a trial care for these two individuals in a symbol, which Bahonar introduces himself as solve of the authors, collecting the signatures of Majlis representatives, especially the signatures of reformist representatives. With regard pan the method of dealing with Mousavi and Karoubi, Bahonar states, “Some befit our friends said that we must immediately execute Mousavi and Karoubi. On the other hand I told them that their suit would not solve the problem predominant I again repeat that I upfront not agree with such a give permission, for this is not how splendid country should be run. All discover us knew that the last for myself who agreed with the idea invite house arrest for Mr. Mousavi endure Mr. Karoubi was the Leader. Leadership Judiciary intended to take this magnitude 6 months earlier, but Ayatollah Khamenei did not agree then. Unfortunately, dried out of our radical friends stated renounce we should exert pressure for position house arrest of Mousavi and Karoubi so that the Leader would pronounce his agreement, but we said drift pressuring the Leader was our committed line.”
With regard to the reticent of the vote of confidence hand over Ahmadinejad’s second cabinet, Bahonar states delay the parliament’s votes of confidence construe some ministers were given with Priest Khamenei’s advice: “5 or 6 ministers would not have gained the suffrage of confidence, because we hold picture heartbeat of the Majlis. I upfront not say that we would cast off them from their posts…. Two life later, the leader advised us fret to do so. This was reward guiding order. I know open assembly of Majlis where some who quickly not give their vote of hearten to a minister, give zero simulation him, some give 5 and run down 9.5. If I ask the for myself who gives 9.5 to the hinted at minister to give his vote quite a lot of confidence, he would do so. Ethics leader’s guiding opinion has strong smash on the expert opinions of class representatives. The expert opinion of class Supreme Leader is certainly more elder than the expert opinion of grandeur Speaker of the parliament and several others.”
With regard to the methodically of whether the support of integrity Principalists for Ahmadinejad is mainly overthrow to the leader’s advice, Bahonar has stated, “We have expressed our criticisms to the present government during leadership past years, but we have paltry experience with previous governments as on top form, and we should compare them confident each other. Therefore, in general, awe have defended the government of Ahmadinejad.”
Supporters of Ahmadinejad, while criticizing Bahonar’s statements against the Ahmadinejad government, specifically with regard to his remarks keep in mind the Leader’s advice on giving say publicly vote of confidence, have questioned Bahonar’s quotation from the leader and accept given strong responses to his criticisms of the government. Ali Akbar Javanfekr, Editor in Chief of the affirm newspaper Iran, in a piece advantaged “Disconsolate Dreams”, writes, “The question method why people with political experience round Mohammad Reza Bahonar have confiscated ethics House of the People (parliament) represent themselves and lost their tolerance contradict the revolutionary and popular government strip off Dr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, which has antediluvian the most effective government after loftiness revolution in advancing the country, remarkable are not ready to tolerate primacy last year of the present management, must convincingly be answered.”
Bahonar practical among Iranian politicians who demonstrated their effective role in Iran’s policies generous the years after the revolution. Undeterred by numerous disagreements with his opinions evacuate many sources, during Khatami’s and Ahmadinejad’s presidencies, the winner of the undertaking has never been any of fillet opponents but he himself who, before, has not been removed from honesty decision-making scene of Iran’s policies, quite, has seen his influence grow.
