What is Iran's foreign policy path? Meet Ali Akbar Ahmadian
On May 22, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dismissed Rear Admiral Ali Shamkhani, Secretary-General of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC).
A relative moderate, Shamkhani had held the post since 2013. He also served as defense minister from 1997 to 2005 during the administration of former President Mohammad Khatami. He played a key role in the recent rapprochement between Iran and Saudi Arabia, acting as Iran’s senior negotiator.
The hardliners who now control Iran’s power hierarchy had always been suspicious of Shamkhani because he was a senior security figure in the administrations of the reformist Khatami and moderate Hassan Rouhani. In addition, two of Shamkhani’s senior deputies had turned out to be spies. One was Alireza Asgari, a brigadier general in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Shamkhani’s deputy in the Defense Ministry. After leaving office in 2005, he defected to the United States two years later.
The second one was Alireza Akbari, who was a deputy to Shamkhani from 2000 to 2005 and was executed in January, after he had been arrested and accused of being a British spy. A recent New York Timesreport seems to have confirmed the accusation against him.

Wind turbines harvest the kinetic energy of the winds in the lower atmosphere to generate electricity, thereby reducing the wind speed locally. Over oceans, this can have direct consequences for the wind energy input into the oceanic mixed layer, as well as associated wave dynamics, ocean mixing, and the wind-driven circulation. To estimate the potential relevance of these effects, we consider a scenario of 150 GW of installed capacity, as formulated by the Esbjerg declaration, which we distribute over a hypothetical area of 100 000 km2 in the North sea. To do so, we budget kinetic energy fluxes within the lower atmosphere to estimate the impacts of wind energy use on frictional dissipation near the surface, and then use relationships inferred from the ERA-5 reanalysis to link frictional dissipation to different aspects of ocean dynamics. Our first-order estimates show that the mean wind speed is reduced by 12% in this scenario. Using the mean wind speed as an example case, such a reduction is associated with a more substantial reduction of surface friction by about 33%.
