Times Of Israel: How Iran’s Khamenei, at first dismissed, achieved an iron grip as supreme leader
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has ruled Iran since 1989, consolidating power through a strong security apparatus while promoting nuclear technology. His leadership has faced challenges, particularly following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, which has weakened Iran's regional influence.
