Iranian president Hassan Rouhani appointed two women vice-presidents on Aug. 9, but made no changes to an all-male list of cabinet ministers criticized by reformists for its lack of female representation.

Iran is to appoint a woman ambassador for the first time since its 1979 Islamic Revolution, according to unconfirmed media reports April 15.
      
The reports said foreign ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham would be named ambassador to an Asian country.
