How Ayatollah Ali Khamenei became supreme leader of Iran | BBC News


Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in his office on Saturday morning during a US-Israeli attack.

The death of the 86-year-old ruler of the past three decades was announced by US President Donald Trump and later confirmed on Iranian state TV.

Ali Khamenei was born in the city of Mashhad in 1939, and he would later join the religious opposition movement of Ayatollah Khomeini.

After the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Ali Khamenei became deputy defence minister and helped organise the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps.

When Khomeini died in 1989, Ali Khamenei was selected to be the new supreme leader.
