The Expediency Discernment Council of the System [1](Persian: مجمع تشخیص مصلحت نظام), is an unelected[2] establishment in the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Iran created in 1988. Its purpose is to resolve differences or conflicts between the Majlis and the Council of Guardians, and also to serve as a consultative council to the Supreme Leader.

As of 1998, the council is headed by Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. All of the 34 members[3] of this council are directly assigned by the Supreme Leader.
