The Central Command Council is the most senior military body in Zorasan, that serves as an executive council, legislative council, the country's national security council and the secondary federal Election supervision body. The Central Command Council is also endowed with significant powers and responsibilities. The CCC's influence and power over matters of government is such, that many commentators regard the body as the true political authority in Zorasan.

The CCC is comprised of 16 members drawn from all branches of the Zorasani Irfanic Revolutionary Army and is headed by the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. The CCC is charged by the 2008 constitution to, supervising elections of, and approving of candidates too, the Popular Assembly, Superior Assembly, municipal elections and state-level elections. The CCC is also charged with appointing the federal ministers for Foreign Affairs, Internal Affairs, National Defence and State Intelligence and Security. By virtue of these appointments, the military has the final say on foreign policy, internal law and order and state intelligence. In both chambers of the legislature, the CCC appoints two-thirds of the upper-house and 10% of members to the lower-house, with the former being mostly comprised of senior level commanders, who are granted seats for life.

In 2017, the powers of the CCC were expanded with the right to determine the annual military budget independently of the Ministry of Finance. This also supported by the denial of the civic government to replace military officers without the authorisation of the CCC. In 2018, this was further developed with the CCC being given sole authority to promote, dismiss and appointed military officers.
