Rise and fall of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei - BBC Africa

Описание: The video examines Ayatollah Khamenei's rise to power in 1989 and his role as Iran's most powerful figure. It details his administration's actions, including crushing demonstrations and pursuing policies that caused international concern, while also touching on the nation's nuclear program, offering a deep dive into the Iran politics and Middle East geopolitics that shaped the region. This political analysis provides essential context for understanding the current Iran news and the broader history of Iran, particularly the impact of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Iranian history.

Iran has had only two supreme leaders since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. In 1989, Khamenei succeeded Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, after his death, at the age of 86. Under Khamenei’s rule, Iran sought to establish closer economic relations with African nations, reached out to Shiite communities in Nigeria and became a member of the Brics economic bloc, also comprised of South Africa, Ethiopia and Egypt.

Young Iranians have never experienced life without him in charge.
