Iranian Actor Criticizes New Leader: “Not Elected By The People”
Iran‑born actor Elnaaz Norouzi told media that after Mojtaba Khamenei was named Iran’s new Supreme Leader by the Assembly of Experts, she believes he, like past leaders, was not chosen by the Iranian people. Norouzi said this lack of public choice has persisted for 47 years and shared her hope for Iranians amid ongoing war and unrest.
