  • From accidental to absolute leader – who is Ayatollah Khamenei?

    From accidental to absolute leader – who is Ayatollah Khamenei?
    2025/06/20
    Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s often reclusive supreme leader, surfaced this week to hit back at Donald Trump’s demands for an unconditional surrender.

    Khamanei first came to power as President of Iran in 1981, and he was a surprise choice for supreme leader eight years later. But since then, with the help of the Revolutionary Guard he has had almost complete control of Iran and its anti-Israel and anti-American foreign policy agenda.

    Sky’s Tom Cheshire speaks to Alex Vatanka, founding director of the Iran program at the Middle East Institute in Washington, DC about how Khamanei is viewed inside Iran and how his policies contributed to the current crisis.

    Trump’s doing it his own way on Iran – could it work?
    2025/06/17
    After leaving the G7 early, Donald Trump told reporters on Air Force One he was seeking what he’s calling a “real end” to the conflict between Israel and Iran and wants to do “better” than just a ceasefire.

    His defence secretary Pete Hegseth has confirmed the US is moving “additional capabilities” to its Middle East bases.

    So, will Trump’s unconventional approach to diplomacy work or fuel the crisis in the Middle East?

    On today’s Sky News Daily Mark Austin speaks to Sky’s security and defence analyst Michael Clarke about Trump’s unpredictable approach to world affairs, and whether he’ll be able to strike a deal.
