Iran is subdivided into thirty-one provinces (Persian: استانostân), each governed from a local centre, usually the largest local city, which is called the capital (Persian: مرکز, markaz) of that province. The provincial authority is headed by a governor-general (Persian: استاندارostândâr), who is appointed by the Minister of the Interior subject to approval of the cabinet.[1]
