Who leads the groups?

Each group within the Axis of Resistance has its own leadership, often with a supreme leader or council. For example, Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was at the top of the country's political and religious hierarchy. Understanding these individual leaders helps explain the network's overall structure and how decisions are made within this alliance, which is central to the story's context.
