Government of Iran

The government of Iran is a unicameral unitary presidential republic borrowing heavily on ideas of Islamic fundamnetalism and Islamic theocracy, though de-facto Tehran does not heavily incorporate ideas of theocracy into its governing bodies, mostly to keep peace between non-Muslim minorities and the majority Muslim inhabitants of the country. 
The government of Persia went through a significant transformation with the Islamic Republican victory of the Iranian Revolution, for the first time making Iran a republic and deposing of the Qajar dynasty, which fled to the British Raj then independent Azerbaijan in the aftermath of the violence. 
== The Consultative Assembly ==
The Consultative Assembly, created in early 1920 is the main governing body of Tehran, and is used, in theory to keep the power of the president in check (on paper at least, as in practice the Assembly as been suspiciously loyal to the previous two Iranian president and their executive decisions in the past). In total, the Assembly has 100 seats, with each representative being elected by the people during the general elections every 5 years. Representatives are also made to represent major political parties and Iranian minorities in the country.
=== Iranian minority representation ===
Within the assembly there are a total of 14 seats reserved for 7 Iranian ethnic minorities, including Azerbaijanis, Armenians, Assyrians, Lurs, Balochi, Arabs and Kurds, with each group receiving two seats in total. This number however, has been disputed, as in the constitution it wasn’t clear about minority representation, only that minorities of Iran are given some form of it. Because two seats became the norm after Kuh-Kamari’s rule, but there have been growing protests to expand representation while Modarres insists that the current system is fine as it is.
