In the media, there are mentions of the appointment of Major General Mohsen Rezaei as the Military Advisor to the Commander-in-Chief by the third Leader; however, no such appointment has taken place to date.

Furthermore, in addition to the fact that the group of military advisors to the Commander-in-Chief—which has existed since the era of the second Leader—has not been disbanded and its advisory members remain in their positions, the Senior Advisor and Assistant to the Commander-in-Chief is Major General Yahya Safavi, and no changes have occurred to date.
