Rank: Brigadier-General
Brigadier-General Ahmad Vahidi has been a prominent member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) since 1979. He was appointed as Deputy Chief for Intelligence in 1981, played a role in organising the Ministry of Intelligence, became the first commander of the IRGC Quds Force in 1988 and was in charge of the IRGC Intelligence Unit. He further set up a number of IRGC garrisons that are responsible for organising terrorist activities. In 1997, he was transferred to the Ministry of Defense. He has been nominated as Defence Minister in 2009 and served in this post until 2013. He is still a high-ranking figure within the IRGC.
Le 22 septembre 2022, Ahmad Vahidi a été nommé membre du Conseil du discernement du bien de l'ordre islamique pour un mandat de cinq ans. Il a été ministre iranien de l'intérieur du 25 août 2021 jusqu'en 2024. À ce titre, il a été responsable des forces de l'ordre iraniennes. Au cours de son mandat, un nombre sans précédent de militaires et de responsables de la sécurité ont été nommés en tant que gouverneurs de province, lesquels continuent de jouer un rôle clé dans la coordination des activités de contrôle des foules menées par les forces spéciales de la police, la milice Basij et le Corps des gardiens de la révolution islamique (IRGC). Les violations flagrantes et graves des droits de l'homme commises par les forces de l'ordre iraniennes, telles que les tirs aveugles à balles réelles sur des manifestants pacifiques, y compris des enfants, ont été largement documentées depuis le début des manifestations autour de la mort de Mahsa Amini à la mi-septembre 2022. Plus de 70 manifestants sont morts et des centaines ont été gravement blessés, dont des enfants. Depuis le début des manifestations, les forces de police ont également détenu arbitrairement de nombreux défenseurs des droits de l'homme et journalistes. Ahmad Vahidi a en outre plaidé publiquement en faveur d'une approche sévère à l'égard des personnes participant à ces manifestations. Il est donc responsable de graves violations des droits de l'homme en Iran.
Le général de brigade Ahmad Vahidi est un membre de premier plan du Corps des gardiens de la révolution islamique (IRGC) depuis 1979.

Il a en outre créé un certain nombre de garnisons de l’IRGC qui sont responsables de l’organisation d’activités terroristes. En 1997, il a été transféré au ministère de la défense. Il a été nommé ministre de la défense en 2009 et a occupé ce poste jusqu’en 2013. Il est toujours un haut gradé au sein de l’IRGC.
