Alireza Arifi

Alireza Arifi is an Iranian cleric and member of the Guardian Council who has recently been named as part of a triumvirate to lead Iran following the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He is known for his close ties to the former Supreme Leader and is expected to play a significant role in the country's governance during this transitional period. His involvement comes at a time of heightened tension between Iran and the United States, particularly following recent military actions and potential dialogues proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump.
