To date, the heads of this institution have been "Gholam-Hossein Haqqani" (who served until 1982)^[18] and Ahmad Jannati (currently serving). They both were appointed by Iran's Supreme Leader. The main center of the organization is located in Tehran. It also has numerous other centres throughout Iran.^[18]
