[PAR] [TLE] Ali Khamenei [SEP] Sayyid Ali Hosseini Khamenei (Persian: سید علی حسینی خامنه‌ای‎ ‎ ] ; born 17 July 1939) is a "marja" and the second and current Supreme Leader of Iran.  Khamenei succeeded the first Supreme Leader, Ruhollah Khomeini, after Khomeini's death, being elected as the new Supreme Leader by the Assembly of Experts on 4 June 1989 at the age of 49.  His political career began after the Iranian Revolution, when the former President of Iran, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, then a confidant of Khomeini, brought Khamenei into Khomeini's inner circle.  Later on, the current President of Iran, Hassan Rouhani, then a member of Parliament, arranged for Khamenei to get his first major post in the provisional revolutionary government as deputy defense minister.  Khamenei then went to serve as the third President of Iran from 1981 to 1989 while becoming a close ally to Khomeini.  Eventually, after Khomeini had a fall off with then heir-apparent Hussein Ali Montazeri, Rafsanjani claimed that Khomeini had chosen Khamenei as his successor while the Assembly of Experts deliberated to elect the next Supreme Leader.  Khamenei is head of the servants of Astan Quds Razavi from April 14, 1979.
