Its Articles 130 and 131 mention that if the President is unable to fulfill his duties due to dismissal, resignation, absence, illness or death, the Vice President will perform his duties until the elections are held. However, it is also mentioned in the Constitution that the Vice President can get the responsibility of the President only if the leaders of the Islamic Revolution approve it.

It is also written in the Constitution of Iran that if for any reason the Vice President is given the responsibilities of the President, then a new President will have to be elected within the next 50 days. Khamenei, who is the leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, has also made it clear that elections will be held in Iran in the next 50 days.
