The Islamic Republic of Iran has in its history had three supreme leaders: Khomeini, who held the position from 1979 until his death in 1989; Ali Khamenei, who held the position from Khomeini's death until his assassination in 2026; and Khamenei's son Mojtaba Khamenei, who has held the position since 2026.[39][40]

EDITED because at first I didn't realize I was looking at an AI summary -- saying three leaders, and listing both of them.
