@@Zain-hz9rt so you must be qualified ! Noone is perfect and qualified for any job for that matter. It is the confidence and responsibility , that drives somebody.
@Jeff Ourun Im not into politics but he speaks the truth and refuses to become westernised. He won't surrender his country for money. So the whole world who is run by the Ruthchilds btw have made Iran my poor country look lie the bad guy. But they will never invade us. No matter how much pressure they put on us. God won't let that happen. Inshallah God destroys the Ruthchilds and executes the Anti Christ.
@Jeff Ourun he doesn't lie darling. Our Deen doesn't let us lie. Anyways he is an Angel compared to Trump and any of his allies. How many countries has Iran invaded in the last 200 years? = 0 how many countries has US invaded in the last 200 years? More than 20. That's the truth and we speak about facts here. Not about what your opinion assumptions
@Jeff Ourun if it wasn't for him, me and you probably wouldn't be alive becuase the Antichrist would have come by now and Agenda 21 depopulation would have eliminated 80 percent of the world's population. Read about this darling. Or I can call you and explain it to you :)
In USA even you are not qualified, you act as being one. IN IRANIAN CULTURE EVEN YOU ARE QUALIFIED, you will say you are not, to show you are humble and not power hungry. The experience of the last 40 years showed he was very well qualified.
@carlinhos juaresma dont use your modern standards to make what 1400 years ago a social norm where the life expectancy of a person is 30 or 40 seem like an act of pedophilia and besides she wasn't 9 she was around the ages of 18-19
at the time of the prophet it was normal for girls to get Married at that age, it was arranged Marriage so no question of raping or whatsoever, no Moving on the important part , ur taking the current norms of society and putting it in the prophet's time, u have to understand the norms of the society and society itself changes overtime, so at that time it was normal and now not so normal, even in this IndiaN subcontinent if we can go back 100-150 years before we would see girls getting married at 9,10,11. It was normal back then. So don't blame Someone by taking him from a 1400 year old society and putting him through present society normS, Cause if u do that then it is highly illogical and it doesn't make any sence whatsoever ! Hope u understand!
in present time lowest age a girl can get married in USA is 14 (alaska), some states don't even have any lowest age thus making any age legal there in usa in those states! and all r in present time frame of the world!

Khomeini's criteria for choosing him were not theological knowledge, Khomeini believed that it takes someone hard and inflexible to oppress the protesters, hence this ominous choice.
Don't listen to your goverments . I'm an iranian , and he is one of the best leaders in history . Many people are ready to give their lives for him . Well , other people in goverment make mistakes a lot , but he is amazing .
I'm an Iranian too. This is bs. Iranian people revolted and the government suppressed them using guns. That is enough for anybody to understand how popular Iran's government or khamenei is The problem is you people, the minority that still support the government, you are coping. But at some point you'll have to face this disillusionment.

@@mohammadghazi4486 But now I don't support him already... he delivered Russia drones and rockets for killing Ukrainians while I have flat in Kiev as Polish citizien. Since time when Iran started bomb Ukraine by drones and kill Ukrainians in September 2022, I stopped support Ali Khamenei and Iranian goverment. Once I very loved him and now not. And yet I had Iranian fiance from date site Muslima who showed out IRGC agent and very lied, cheated, swear false on God and threatened me, so I have unpleasent memories toward IRGC and Iranian goverment. And Khomeinists very hate women.
iran supply drones to russia because of zionist mothe*f*ck*r zalensky. and all western countries uses ukraine for them own interest once war will end no one can support to build ukraine again they just want to war with russia while same things happen in palestinian so all western liars do nothing averse support israel ko kill palestinians.
@@mohammadghazi4486 I hate USA and Israel and West for their wars for oil and influences in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, I also love Palestine. Americans killed President of Iraq and Libya. But you don't know nothing about Ukraine! My father is Ukrainian from origin, mom is Polish. I buyed flat in Kiev in 2021, because I loved Ukraine (before I helped in war since 2014, I had aggrement on shooter from Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2016 and from Pravyy Sektor in 2018). You don't know why war in Ukraine started since 2014 and why was Maidan. Maidan was, because Russians named Ukrainians "artifical country and artifical nation", "Khokhols", "morrons" - I read their comments after taking away the Crimea. I will never forgive them taking away the Crimea. I don't care about America and Israel, but Russians have no right do this! They had no right do separatism in Donbass and sent their Russians soldiers later there since May 2014. I remember all, I will say you how this was. Russians murdered in April 2014 councilor from Horlivka Volodymyr Rybak and student, gutted them alive and yet alive throwed them to to river. Why? Because those 2 people had blue-yellow Ukrainian national flag and Volodymyr Rybak hanged this flag on building of city council in Horlivka. Later Russians started murder and torture Ukrainian civillians and throw out them from own homes, so Ukrainian President Poroshenko sent there Armed Forces of Ukraine in May 2014 to supress those savage separatists who destroyed Ukrainian public buildings and removed Ukrainian national flags and tridents (tryzubs - tryzub is coat of arm of Ukraine). So Russia joined into this conflict and started war between Russia and Ukraine which is to now. Russians attacked all Ukraine in 2022 with full power. Sorry, if someone is not Communist, should this person die? Ukrainians hate USRR, Stalin, Lenin and Communism, because Stalin starved us 10 mln in 1932-1933 deliberatelly and Russians ordered us worship this executor! And beside, Russia doesn't recognise Ukraine nor in right, nor in left form, in any! For Russia Ukraine just doesn't exist like Chechnya. Russians (Soviets) took away Ukraine in 1919 with Poles, Poles took away ZUNR in 1919 and Russians took away UNR in 1919 and later Bandera fought that regain this. That's why Russians hate him, because they were imperialists who wanted seize other countries for Communism and USRR. 86 % of Russians love Communism, Stalin, Lenin and Putin, I read article in 2014 basic on statistic in Russia. If someone said you that Iran and Iranian nation is artifical and doesn't exist, would you like be with this person? I hate internationalism and Communism. I'm really surprised that Iran is with neo-Communistic Russia. I was in Kiev in March 2022 in the time of massive bombings (I wanted go fight for Ukraine against Russia, but I'm Polish citizien, so didn't take me in Armed Forces of Ukraine, proposed only Foreign League), if you lied on floor in your own flat buyed for all money and also lied in street in Kiev without moving with heads on head when sirens howled, you would also hate Russia and country which supports Russia like Iran. Morover that I very supported you Iranians in January 2020 when Americans wanted bomb Iran for oil, I wrote comments for you and buyed your Iranian products in Polish supermarket and and I even wanted fight for Iran against Americans and stay with you to the end. And you did in this way. I was recently in Kiev in October 2022 and I heard anty-air alarms few times in nights and I couldn't sleep and I thought that those are rockets while later showed out that those were Iranian drones which bombed Bila Tserkva near Kiev and later bombed electric power plant near Kiev and in all capital of Ukraine wasn't hot water and later at all electricity. My block is not on gas, but on electricity, so I couldn't even heat water to washing (in the beggining I heated water on electric kitchen). So I returned from Kiev to flat in Poland. And your Iranian drones all the time bomb Kiev. Lovly. I support MEK since October 2022 and I don't want see you never again! MEK supports Ukraine and did even video for Ukrainian soldiers.
@@knightf8648 what would they gain from that ? They said themselves it was a mistake. Because of US killing of suleimani they were scared that this plane might another Attak from US and didn't think too much before shooting it down. And it was not because of any order from khamenaie directly unlike us drone strike which was ordered by trump himself

@John Solitude The beginning of wisdom is the fear of God. Jesus said in Luke 12:4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. Fear is eternally healthy!
@Sudip Karan The qualification was lowered, you liar. Originaly one had to be a marja (highest ranoung scholar of jurisprudence), but NOT ANYMORE. Either way Khamenei BECAME A MARJA IN THE MEANTIME. He is a loved leader, you undercover western bot. I, as a Sunni, respect him.
@@actsismmljcorrectlyobeyed6190 Your Bible contrasicts at every other word. How can Jesus a.s. not known when the Day of Judgement is, if you claim him to be God, naudhubillah? Mark 13:32 (New International Version): "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." God neither lies and He knows everything. That means that Jesus a.s., according to you, either lied, naudhubillah, or he didn't know, both of which make him not God.

actually after the Islamic revolution people in a referendum voted in favor of this system, so yes this is pure Democracy where you dont spend millions to get elected.
The council is only composed of specifically Muslims, half of which are also chosen by the leader and the other half are chosen by people in the other positions, and guess who let's them in those positions.
@@sunny5610they voted after all of the opposition was practically obliterated by mullahs or had boycotted the referendum and also because most the people at the time were uneducated.
that's exactly how Ali Ibn Abi Talib did . What a noble man he refused the highest position in a country and was "forced" into his job, despite of that he led iran sucessfully . LONG LIVE IRR .
Hazrat Ali (as) never said he is not qualified. He (pbuh) had never spoken and neither he could speak a word against the word of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). As the Prophet announced that Ali is most qualified after him, Ali (as) couldn't say he not qualified. It will be like not accepting word of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and Ali can give life but won't do it.
Nobody's ever truly ready for something like this. I'm sure if you asked Khamenei to prepare for 10 years, he would still say he was not qualified. Nothing except being the Ayatollah qualified him to be the Ayatollah. And stepping up despite that is what makes him such a strong leader.
The decision of the cabinet members was the best as we are witnessing the result today.May Almighty give him long and healthy life and keep him safe from evil eyes 🤲

He humbly said I am not qualified but he showed that he is one of the best leaders that the history has seen ever. As the commander of Iranian military forces, he has made Iran a very powerful country that no country in the world can threaten it. Iranian people love and respect Ayatollah Khamenei.
This is delusional for those who live in illusion themselves. Simply by coming out of excessive hate and darkness one could see the light emanated the truth.
This is the true nature of those who are fully qualified for such important positions and responsibilities. Humbleness. Lao Tze the great spiritual Master living in China 6000 years ago said. Do you know why the Ocean is the King of all waters. Because it seats at the lowest level.

Yeah, that’s why I need to shift from the United States, they don’t understand or value that type of humility, and it only works out well if you’re in a setting where it is happening with everyone or mostly everyone otherwise you just end up trampled

When you follow real Islam even your enemy is going to serve you without knowing it. They tried to make him look bad but it’s the opposite of what they wanted. This is one of the best characters of real leadership and how to avoid what is called compound ignorance. Acting you know everything.

Some people dont know how hard it is to lead a state when the whole arab world, USA and their vasalls, Israel are against you sometimes you have to take decisions like these the result of his actions is the islamic republic of Iran who exists until today and its people live better then the people from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Lybia, Syria, Egypt, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Algier, Tunis,Sudan.....
His Humblesness. The man of Spirtuality, Bravery, loyalty ,intelligence and Power The experience of the last 43 years showed he was very well qualified.
This man is really praiseworthy with his wisdom, because the ship brought the Iranian revolution to the shore, despite the presence of America and European countries and Arab countries, I can't even think about the courage and intelligence of this man.
A wicked leader thinks himself as a leader while a just ruler does not. As a black Shia i am very weary of those in power but I’ve not seen any ill doing on the leadership of this leader so therefore I can only respect and give salute to what I see. Much respect to the Iranian people, surely you guys are the last of those that are united amongst truth.

@Yassine Sabri the USA sanctions are hurting the people, correct. But the Islamic government of Iran isn't hurt by the sanctions. They were oppressive, corrupt and ruthless before the American sanctions. Do you honestly think everyone was living in peace and harmony before big bad America came along? Hint: no they weren't, the economy and society suffered after the revolution and the incompetent government is surviving purely off oil revenues. They don't care about the people, fuck anyone who blindly worships the Iranian government.

@Sam : there are many problems in Iran. some of them regarding human rights. nobody disagree. but if you're looking for the eternel city of Plato you will search for long period of time.. and you won't find this city, even in US and certainly not in some brutal regimes like this barbaric Saudi Kingdom. the most civilised countries are probably northern ones (Finland, Norway..) but they have very old democracy tradition. modern Iran was born only in 1979 and faced a 8 years war soon after.. it's just a baby comparin to other countries. but who can say that this country didn't evolve ?? look at the situation of women there, compare it with Saudi regime ! look at minorities (again comparing with other countries in the same region). Iran has big talents, 250000 engineers per year, a home made nuclear program, a home made space program and probably the most efficient solar cell technology in the world.. despite a 30 years embargo ! it's just a miracle. Iran is not perfect (yet), but comparing to other countries in the region, it'smaking giant steps.
he is the only leader that i trust. i would do anything if he ask me to do. i always respected him and he never disrespected me. in some area i disagree with him, but i still trust his judgment in majority of things.
You're Indian, you don't know anything about what's going on in Iran so why are you praising him? We are not the same, Iranians are suffering and living in poverty thanks to the Islamic Republic. So keep your stupid comments to yourself.
