Ali Khamenei's Biography

Ali Hoseyni Khāmene’i (Persian: سید علی خامنه ای , pronounced [ʔæˈliː hoseiˈniː xɒːmeneˈʔiː]  ( listen); born 17 July 1939) is an Iranian politician and cleric, as well as the figurehead of the conservative establishment in Iran. He was president of Iran from 1981 to 1989, and has been Supreme Leader of Iran since June 1989 when the Assembly of Experts selected him to succeed Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. He has been described as one of only three people having "important influences" on the Islamic Republic of Iran (the other two being the founder of the republic, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, and the president of Iran for much of the 1990s, Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani). So far, the biggest challenge to his leadership has been the mass protests following the June 2009 presidential elections. Khamenei, however, continued to strongly support Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's policies and re-election.
