Who is Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei?

Iran is one of the few countries where the major player is not even running for office.

The country's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has more sway over this country than any nominee.

Reza Sayah explains why.

    Hi Erin! Ayatollah Khamenei is a puppet in the hands of Revolutionary Guard Generals.
    Do not overestimate his influence and power! Mark this: Revolutionary Guard (SEPAH) will go after him within next 2-3 month. They do not need him anymore!
