The term "hereditary dictatorship" implies that a supreme leader's successor is determined by law (or custom) to be his son (or some family member). However, according to Iran's constitution (Article 111), the Assembly of Experts is tasked with electing, supervising, and dismissing the supreme leader, as demonstrated by the choosing of Ali Khamenei as Khomeini's successor in 1989 despite the fact that there were no family relations between the two. The fact that the current supreme leader simply happens to be the previous one's son does not turn Iran into a "hereditary dictatorship". In fact, as far as I know, not a single high position of power in Iran is hereditary (you may find a lot of nepotism among those with power, but that doesn't mean the form of government is hereditary).

This appears to be the first such succession in modern history, hardly a form of government. I've reverted the change as lacking consensus. O3000, Ret. (talk) 11:05, 4 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
