Mojtaba Khamenei

Mojtaba Khamenei is Iran's Supreme Leader, a position he has held since 2013. He is a key figure in the country's hardline faction and has been instrumental in shaping Iran's foreign policy, particularly with regards to its relations with the US. Recent developments, including escalating tensions between Iran and the US, have brought Khamenei back into the spotlight. The Strait of Hormuz closure, increased military activity, and warnings from Khamenei himself about potential 'new bitter defeats' for the US and Israel have raised concerns about the potential for conflict. As a result, Khamenei's views on the US are seen as increasingly hostile, with many experts warning that Iran views the US as 'evil'. The current situation highlights the ongoing tensions between Iran and the US, and Khamenei's role in shaping Iran's response to these tensions.
