This new cabinet is one of the most hardline cabinets ever chosen by the regime.

Those highlighted names show the important ministeries run by ultimate hardliners such as Saffar Harandi, who is the former editor in chief of regime's mouthpiece Kayhan daily. Or Mohseni Ejeie who is the head of the special clergy courts and was the prosecutor in the trial of Karbaschi, reformist Mayor of city of Tehran.
