Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s usually reclusive supreme chief, surfaced this week to hit again at Donald Trump’s calls for for an unconditional give up.
Khamanei first got here to energy as president of Iran in 1981, and he was a shock alternative for supreme chief eight years later. But since then, with the assistance of the Revolutionary Guard he has had nearly full management of Iran and its anti-Israel and anti-American international coverage agenda.
Sky’s Tom Cheshire speaks to Alex Vatanka, founding director of the Iran programme on the Middle East Institute in Washington DC, about how Khamenei is seen inside Iran and the way his insurance policies contributed to the present disaster.
