Who is Iran’s Supreme Leader?


Listen Later

After twelve days of intense fighting, Israel and Iran have agreed to a ceasefire that, for now, seems to be holding.

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, is the man in charge in Tehran. His current whereabouts are a mystery. As we wait to see what’s next in this conflict, we look into his leadership and how power works in Iran with the help of Ghoncheh Habibiazad from the BBC Persian team. Plus we explain what role President Masoud Pezeshkian plays in all of this too.
