Which body resolves disputes between the Majles and the Guardian Council in Iran's system?

• A. The Supreme Leader resolves all disputes.
• B. The Judiciary resolves conflicts between the Majles and Guardian Council.
• C. The Guardian Council resolves disputes with the Majles directly.
• D. The Expediency Council resolves disputes between the Majles and the Guardian Council.

Answer: (D)

Disputes between the Majles and the Guardian Council are resolved by the Expediency Council. This body was created to act as the final arbiter when the Guardian Council vetoes or blocks legislation that the Majles has passed, providing a binding resolution to the deadlock. Its members are appointed by the Supreme Leader, and the council’s ruling is effectively the concluding word in such conflicts. The Judiciary isn’t the forum for settling these intra-branch clashes, and while the Supreme Leader has broad authority, he does not personally resolve each dispute; the Expediency Council fulfills that specific role.
