TEHRAN, Dec. 07 (MNA) – Mehrdad Bazrpash was appointed as Iran's Minister of Roads and Urban Development on Wednesday after receiving votes of confidence from Iranian parliament members.

Formerly, Bazrpash was serving as Senior President of the Supreme Audit Court (SAC).

Several weeks ago, the former Iranian road minister Rostam Ghasemi resigned and President Ebrahim Raeisi accepted his resignation.

The cause for Ghasemi's resignation was his deteriorating health condition.
