I wonder what will happen if he meets the North Korean President. You clearly can't have two Supreme Leaders. Maybe it'll go like that scene in Great Dictator where Chaplin meets Mussolini.
Clearly, Supreme Leader is not just a translation choice when the BBC mentions it quite specifically numerous times in this article.
This is such a obviously intentional misinterpretation, but for the sake of clarity:
No, they're arguing that he is referred to by a Persian term that directly translates to "supreme leader"
No doubt that he's called that. I think the term is ridiculous and wonder why they give these people such silly titles.
But it goes beyond being a "translation choice".
I don't know what you're going on about. "Supreme Leader" is such an ego-inflated, better-than-thou title.
It's hilarious and silly to put on a leader. English, non-English, Iran or the UK. It doesn't matter! LOL
