Why Iran’s Supreme Leader Controls the Military, Judiciary and President

In this video, we break down who the Supreme Leader of Iran is and why the position holds immense power compared to elected presidents in democratic systems like Kenya. We examine how Iran’s government operates under a theocratic system, where religious authority plays a central role, and explore Article 110 of the Iranian Constitution, which outlines the sweeping powers of the Supreme Leader. From commanding the armed forces and declaring war to approving presidential elections and dismissing top judicial and military officials, this explainer unpacks how authority is structured in Iran. We also provide historical context on how the Islamic Revolution transformed Iran from the rule of the Shah to a religious-led state under Ayatollah leadership, and why the Supreme Leader remains the ultimate authority above the president, parliament, and judiciary. This episode is purely an analysis of the legal and constitutional framework that establishes the office of the Supreme Leader, helping viewers understand the difference between democracy and theocracy and how power is exercised in Iran.
