...and he was unwilling to cooperate with that administration, believing that the parliament's vote of no confidence in him had been prompted by their signals.

After his experience at the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance, Masoud Karbasian did not even accept the offer to lead the Ministry of Industry, Mine, and Trade in Hassan Rouhani's government. He was unwilling to cooperate with an administration that he believed had signaled the Parliament to give him a vote of no confidence.

He only accepted the position of CEO of the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) after Ayatollah Khamenei agreed to his continued service. In the current administration as well, he declined the Ministry of Petroleum. It appears he will only accept a position in this government if, like Mohammad Reza Aref, it is suggested or mandated to him.
