Supervision can be classified from different perspectives. One of these types is the division of supervision into two general types: "government supervision" and "popular supervision".

This research was done with descriptive-analytical method and with available library and internet resources. The findings of the research emphasize the hypothesis that the supervision of the actions of the executive branch takes place in two forms: public and popular supervision and legal supervision. The means of public and popular supervision over the actions of the executive branch are: elections, parties and associations, media, marches and demonstrations. The important guarantees of monitoring the performance of the executive branch are stated in the constitution, which are: a- the people (the subject of the eighth article of the constitution), b- the Islamic Council (article 90) and c- the judiciary (article 156).
