It’s no secret that the Islamic Republic of Iran has a complicated and, let’s call it ‘volatile,’relationship with the U. S.
But this isn’t anything new.
Despite this, President Donald Trump expressed a willingness to meet with Iranian president, Hassan Rouhani, even though Trump ended up withdrawing from the Iran nuclear agreement.
BUT Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was not interested at all.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is a key player in the Middle East. And whether it’s the war in Syria and Yemen, or its nuclear deal with western powers, the Persian country always seems to be right in the center of things.
And while Iran has elected political offices like a presidency and legislative body, a lot of power belongs to one man, the country’s Supreme Leader. And his powers are far reaching.
When it comes to politics, the Supreme Leader has direct or indirect power over the executive and legislative bodies of government through un-elected councils he controls.
Essentially he is the most influential political authority and serves as the de facto head of state.
So, while the country does have a president, that position does not wield as much influence as say an American president, for example. And the same goes for Iran’s legislative body.
The Supreme Leader also wields the most influence over the country’s military and more.
But Iran wasn’t always run like this.
Watch our video to find out just how powerful the Supreme Leader of Iran really is.

Who is here after the us attack of 2020??
@@pratikkhairnar2200 the houtis arent iran, they are supported by iran. Just like how Britain isn't America simply because it's a puppet state.
The grand sunni sheikh of Iraq told sunnis "to unite with Shia in attacking america the great satan" more specifically bases if the U.S didn't leave the region, social media is blowing up with people standing with Iran, and bolth Sunni and Shia are now nearly fully united which has happened in almost 600 years
@@aliibnraymond1361 They tried to divide us but we're more United than ever
Whos here after iran attacks us bases in iraq!?
Who? Sudi arabia? That he cant even defend from his self from yemens grupes? And also americans make a jokes about sudi arbians?
But we can defend from our selvs against powerfulest countries
And make them Scared from us.
What you arabs done whith your selvs?

You shouldnt call your self islamic countries.. Because islamic countries never giveup against their enemies.

You're missing an extremely important part of Iran's history
Neal McMULLEN 1953 coup, Mossadegh and his democratically led government overthrown by CIA and MI6
And thats when you realize that this channel isn't interested with the Truth at all but has an evident agenda it seeks to implement
@Pakistani Bro Pakistan zindabad

Brittish-Iran Famine were 2-10 millions died cause of food that went to soldiers insted of Iran which the Brittish were obligated to give food. They also stole our oil in 60 years.
Interesting that you chose not to discuss the era between 1921 and 1979.
Yes. I am referring to the British engineered and US executed COUP of a DEMOCRATIC, POPULIST leader of IRAN.
Part of the reason why Iranians hate US so much.
Btw your videos are interesting. Keep it up.
saqibmahal That is one of America’s biggest mistakes. As an American I hate what our government did in Iran. We overthrew a democratic government just for oil. Iran could’ve been a great ally today. Also the British are just as guilty.
You are right. As a result of that, now we have a theocracy in Iran which publicly portrays US as evil , but is actually involved in power politics of the Middle East, just like the Saudis and the rest.
@@mcqskidunya8929 Dear saqibmahal there is a big difference between Saudi's and Iran in middle east policy, Saudi's are trying to help US government by giving our region in US and Israel hands, what Iran is trying to do is completely vice versa, we are trying to have a safe region because its good for everyone who lives in middle east. If Syria was taken by US government it was a big thread for all Islamic neighbors. look at middle east map, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Emirates and etc our taken by US Force, how would you feel if every place around your border was taken by your enemy? we are not evil, we are just trying to have safe region.
What a difference would it make in the middle east if Iran remained secular & democratic.
No Iranian revolution, no Iran-Iraq war, no invasion of Kuwait by Iraq & placement of US troops in Saudi Arabia, no personal vendetta by Osama bin Laden against the US, no 9/11.
@@eustache_dauger dude you r mix and matching everything together. first of all we are democratic and this is a fact, you can search the percentage of participating in our elections. being secular is something you think is good but we disagree. for instance its against Islamic beliefs to have mass destruction weapons and because of that we are never going to make nuke bombs, but USA "secular" government has it. Its against Islamic beliefs to invade another country for stealing their sources, but USA and many other countries do. what Islam says about war is when you hear the request of help from any oppressed person or nation you have to help them despite their religion.
we cant lie for our policy we cant change our worlds for policy....i think these are great things of not being secular.
about Iran revolution, before that we were the colony of USA, Britain and French, they plundered our oil, our mines, our industry...everything. we were senior citizen's in our country for almost 100 years because of US presence. It was our right and we had to take it back. About other things you said (kuwait, Iraq and bin ladan) if u look it up, youll find that all of it was US trick to take an excuse to build another army in our allies. Saddam Husain the dictator of Iraq, Taliban the radical Islamic group of Afghanistan, ISIS, Osama bin ladan are the puppets of USA and there are many proves about it.
Over the years I realize US showed his muscle all these years from after 1990 by intervene into other countries politics and government systems to put the person on the power who would be under US influence by asking permission before taking any important political else national decision or given fear of to get under US economic sanctions. But Iran is something else, its unbroken part of mighty Persian kingdom. Iranians are pretty friendly and humble person with immense courage and love for their country. And Iranians were always better in diplomacy, so far I researched about Iran and it's history. They are very courageous and don't hesitate to anything for keeping their words which were given. I love all the Iranian Shi'a muslim brothers and sisters although I am an practicing muslim and I am Sunni. ❤️
Hi
My brother you should know this we didn't start revolution for economy
We did revolution for what we belif
Know I guess you know this now why we have no fear from anyone exept God
And there is no problem between shia and suni
@@revolutionary-brother peace be upon you brother
Well done my brother
A love greeting to you from your Shiite Muslim brother Al-Arafi
Indeed, Iran is a strong country
Allah bless you my brothers
No info in video how Shah was established by USA and UK illegitimately
@Haidar Mohammed USA didnt put khomeini on power, khomeini was popular he only needed us to safely comeback to Iran, according to history he said americans that he will argue with them when he is on power, well he did and it failed !
The Shah wasnt overthrown in 53. He fled because he didnt feel safe. The allies brought him back, but he became a torn in their eyes in the 1970s
Wtf?! Wasim, really?! Why did they do this? I think the main reason was to make Iran quarrel with Saudi Arabia so that the topic of Israel should never be opened
Shah was never installed after the 1953 coup. Shah of Iran was already the king of the country. The staged coup only removed democratically elected Mossadegh and installed other prime ministers to become puppets to the shah.

Supreme leader?

Killzone Slayer lol

Killzone Slayer dead!!😂
The term "supreme leader" is a western construct. In Iran he is called "The Leader of the Revolution" or mostly "The Leader". Also this video does not mention the fact that the leader is appointed by a council of experts who are elected by the people. That council can also, in theory, remove him from power in case they deem it necessary & have a good justification to do so.
@@mistergeopolitics4456 not sure who is right but the video said the council members are appointed. Not elected by the people
Love for IRAN from Pakistan💚

@@mohammadfoadtavakoli7118 love Iran and your courage, may Allah bless you 🥰

I read a lot of "long live the supreme leader" in the comment section but the interesting part is they're almost all non-Iranian...that tells ya all you need to know...
That happens when you see everything from distance!
Ok blockhead
این الان از کشور ما با این ویدیو بد گفته میتونی بگی
Yo American blockhead in Iran we don’t call him supreme leader he is just referred to as the leader in Iran supreme leader was a name given to him by the west especially America in order to make him seem like a tyrant when in reality even he is not above the law and he even gets elected by parliament
Nice Thanks for the next
Long live IRAN

Iranians are very generous people
Yes, but they don't deserve an abusive government. They deserve better.
No they are not. Some are but certainly not all. Some are more than arrogant.
@@juliopeinado2660 Iran obviously needs to get rid of mulla regime, and go back to daya of Persian Empire
