Hezbollah adheres to the same politico-religious system adopted by Iran in 1979 following its Islamic revolution. Known as wilayet al-faqih – the guardianship of the jurisprudent – it confers absolute authority over religious, social, moral and political matters to a senior Shiite scholar. In Iran, the wali al-faqih, or jurist, is the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini was Iran’s first, and he was succeeded by Ayatollah Ali Khameini.
