The end of three decades of power, how Khamenei's rule ended
The death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was at the center of Iran's power for more than three decades, has created a deep uncertainty in Iranian and Middle Eastern politics. Under his rule, Iran has been ruled with a strong hand, opposition has been suppressed, and conflicts with the United States and Israel have intensified. It is still unclear what direction Iran's power structure, the future of leadership, and regional stability will take in Khamenei's absence. But what is certain is that his death is not just the departure of a leader; it is a major turning point in Iranian politics and the balance of power in the Middle East.
