Which body implements policy in Iran's foreign policy?

• A. Leader
• B. Foreign Ministry
• C. Parliament
• D. Guardian Council

Answer: (B)

In Iran, the actual day‑to‑day diplomacy and the execution of foreign policy are carried out by the Foreign Ministry. This ministry translates the broad directions set by Iran’s leadership into concrete行动—negotiating with other countries, issuing official statements, managing ambassadors and embassies, and implementing treaties and international agreements. While the Supreme Leader (and, to a lesser extent, the President and their cabinet) set the high-level foreign policy goals and oversee the government, the Foreign Ministry is the arm that implements those policies on the ground.

The Parliament (Majlis) and the Guardian Council have legislative and oversight roles, shaping laws and approving budgets and treaties, but they do not run diplomacy day to day. So, the Foreign Ministry is the body most directly responsible for implementing foreign policy, carrying out the directives that come from Iran’s top leadership.
