The Iranian nuclear program is run/supervised by the IRGC which answers to the Supreme Leader and the Guardian Council. The Supreme Leader selects 1/2 the Guardian Council and selects who can run for the other 1/2 which is elected by the Parliament (anyone elected to that or the presidency is approved by the Supreme Leader).
The primary requirement for selection is knowledge of Islamic law.
They are not politicians, they are clerics.
