The Islamic Consultative Assembly ({{langx|fa|مجلس شورای اسلامی|Majles-e Shurâ-ye Eslâmi}}), also called the Iranian Parliament, the Iranian Majles (Arabicised spelling Majlis) or ICA, is the unicameral national legislative body of Iran. The parliament currently consists of 290 representatives, an increase from the previous 270 seats since the 18 February 2000 election.{{cn|date=October 2024}}

History

=Islamic Republic of Iran=

Following the Iranian Revolution of 1979, the Senate of Iran was abolished and effectively succeeded by the Guardian Council, maintaining the bicameral structure of the Iranian legislature.{{cn|date=October 2024}} In the 1989 constitutional revision, the National Consultative Assembly was renamed the Islamic Consultative Assembly.{{cn|date=October 2024}}

Since the Iranian Revolution, the Parliament of Iran has been led by six chairmen. Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani served as the inaugural chairman from 1980 to 1989. Subsequently, Mehdi Karroubi held the position in two separate terms (1989–1992 and 2000–2004), followed by Ali Akbar Nategh-Nouri (1992–2000), Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel (2004–2008), Ali Larijani (2008–2020), and, since 2020, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.{{cn|date=October 2024}}

Throughout its history, the Parliament's character has evolved from being a "debating chamber for notables" to a "club for the shah's placemen" during the Pahlavi era. In the era of the Islamic Republic, it has shifted to being a body primarily influenced by members of the "propertied middle class."Abrahamian, History of Modern Iran, (2008), p. 179Islamic Majles, Ashnai-ye Ba Majles-e Showra-ye Islami, Vol.ii (Guide to the Islamic Majles, Tehran, 1992, p. 205

On 7 June 2017, there were shootings at the Iranian parliament and at the shrine of Ayatollah Khomeini.{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-40184641|title=Iran shootings: Parliament and Khomeini shrine attacked|date=2017-06-07|publisher=BBC News|access-date=2017-06-07|language=en-GB|archive-date=6 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180506083431/http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-40184641|url-status=live}} Gunmen opened fire at the Iranian Parliament and the mausoleum of religious leader Ayatollah Khomeini in Tehran. The attack on the mausoleum reportedly left 17 persons dead and more than 30 people injured. The parliament was attacked by four gunmen which left seven to eight people injured. Both attacks took place around the same time and appear to have been coordinated.

Functions

The Islamic Consultative Assembly holds the authority to legislate laws on all matters within the boundaries defined by the Constitution.Article 71 of the Constitution of Iran (1982-07-28), [http://www.wipo.int/edocs/lexdocs/laws/en/ir/ir001en.pdf Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170110160721/http://www.wipo.int/edocs/lexdocs/laws/en/ir/ir001en.pdf |date=10 January 2017 }} wipo.int (accessed 2017-02-25) Nevertheless, it is restricted from enacting laws that contradict the fundamental principles of the official religion of the nation (Islam) or the Constitution itself.Article 72 of the Constitution of Iran

The parliament also drafts legislation, ratifies international treaties, and approves the national budget.{{citation needed|date=June 2020}}

All candidates running for election, and proposed legislation from the assembly must be approved by the Guardian Council. Candidates must pledge in writing that they are committed, in theory and in practice, to the Iranian constitution.{{citation needed|date=June 2020}}

The parliament currently has 207 constituencies, including the five reserved seats for religious minorities. The remaining 202 constituencies are territorial, each covering one or more of Iran's 368 counties.

Building

File:مجلس شورای اسلامی - panoramio (1).jpg

After 1979, the Parliament convened at the building that used to house the Senate of Iran. A new building for the Assembly was constructed at Baharestan Square in central Tehran, near the old Iranian Parliament building that had been used from 1906 to 1979. After several debates, the move was finally approved in 2004. The first session of the Parliament in the new building was held on 16 November 2004.

The old building is depicted on the reverse of the Iranian 100 rial banknote.[http://www.cbi.ir/default_en.aspx Central Bank of Iran] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210203093839/https://www.cbi.ir/default_en.aspx |date=3 February 2021 }}.
