The Iranian Parliament, also known as the Majlis, is the legislative body of Iran. It consists of 290 members who are elected by the public for four-year terms. The Parliament is responsible for making laws, approving the national budget, and overseeing the executive branch of the government. The Majlis plays a crucial role in shaping the country's policies and legislation. It has the authority to ratify international treaties and can also question and impeach government officials, including the President. The Parliament operates within the framework of Iran's Islamic Republic, which combines elements of both democracy and theocratic governance.
