In terms of non-contradiction) with the general policies of the system. Therefore, monitoring the compliance of government approvals with general policies should be done in a way that is appropriate for its position. According to the existing regulations, the Expediency Council is currently responsible for overseeing government approvals in this regard.

As a result, oversight will be achieved in accordance with the general policies of the system in order to achieve its stated goals.
