Iran's Government

Iran is a Constitutional Republic--a non-democratic Republic. Basically it is theocratic government under the constitution since 1979, as revised in 1989, when presidential powers were expanded and the prime minister eliminated. Rather than elected, offices and bodies hold the real power in government.

POWER in Iran is divided in many offices and institututions.

Some of what you have is good; some is badly out of date. For example, the Ayatollah Khomeini is dead and has been for many years.
