Iran's mullah regime
• Iran has had two supreme leaders in its history: Ruhollah Khomeini, who served until his death in 1989, and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, whose life tenure started then. • A supreme leader is considered a head of state, the highest-ranking political and religious authority of Iran. • The supreme leader controls many government bodies, including the armed forces, judicial system, and state television and radio, while acting as a final decision-maker on the amount of transparency in elections, and on matters of the economy, environment, foreign policy, education and national planning. He is considered more powerful than the president. • Supreme leaders are chosen by the clerics who make up the Assembly of Experts. Khomeini was the second-longest serving head of state in the Middle East at the time after Oman’s Sultan Qaboos.
