Because the President is purely a figurehead role who has no formal authority in the government? Unlike in other countries, the head of state in Iran doesn't carry the title of Prime Minister or President - that title is "Supreme Leader."

Or maybe...he's the Iranian regime's version of Delcy Rodruguez: Somebody who can play the role of Most Benevolent Supreme Totally Not Gayatollah of Iran Who Knows Where Mossad Keeps His B@lls.

Maybe he's that guy.

Look at it this way. China put $3.5 billion into building one of the largest and most modern container ports in Chancay, Peru. As a result of that, not only has China significantly increased their influence in Peru - but it's going to reorient virtually all of the economics in that part of South America towards Asian export markets (read, China) as roadway and railway ties are connected to let goods move from the Atlantic coast (read, Brazil) to the Pacific Coast.

And Peru just responded by kicking out this guy:

Jerí is facing a preliminary investigation for corruption and influence peddling launched by Peru’s Attorney General’s office earlier this year.

The charges stem from a series of undisclosed meetings with two Chinese businessmen in December. One of those businessmen holds active government contracts, while the other is under investigation for alleged involvement in an illegal logging operation.

...for his Chinese dealings.
