A law has been passed in the Parliament (May 18, 2004) and the Council of Guardians (May 29, 2004) to further divide the province of Khorasan into three new provinces: North Khorasan, South Khorasan, and Razavi Khorasan.

Provinces are governed from a local center, mostly the largest local city. Provincial government is headed up by a governor (استاندار: ostāndār), who is installed by the Minister of Interior.
