Iranian Parliament (Majlis)

The Iranian Parliament, known as the Majlis, is the country's legislative body responsible for drafting, passing, and modifying laws. Comprising 290 members elected by the public for four-year terms, it functions as a key institution in Iran's political system, working alongside the Guardian Council and the Supreme Leader. The Majlis reviews proposed legislation, approves the national budget, and oversees government activities. While it plays a crucial role in shaping Iran’s policies, its powers are influenced by religious authorities and other governing bodies, reflecting Iran’s blend of democratic elements and religious authority.
