The life of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei | Deep Dive with Vaishnavi

Описание: To some, he’s a dictator who rules with repression. To his followers, a “divine gift to mankind.”

I did some digging and found how a young Khamenei was once imprisoned and tortured for speaking out against the king of Iran. His rise to Supreme Leader has many layers, maybe even clues to why he refused to back down during the recent Israel–Iran conflict. Now, Iran has signalled it will stop firing if Israel stops attacking, following Donald Trump’s call for a ceasefire.

This is the story of how Ali Khamenei became one of the most powerful figures in the world.
