Since 1989, Khamenei has dominated Iran's political, military, and religious establishments for almost thirty years, making him the most powerful person in the nation.
Strong opposition to the United States and Israel, the growth of Iranian power in the area through proxy groups, and internal persecution of dissidents were all hallmarks of his long reign.
Reactions to his passing have been conflicting. Kenya's political landscape responded to President William Ruto's message in a variety of ways.
In light of the developing Middle East crisis, he said, Kenya vehemently denounces the attacks on the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman, Kuwait, Jordan, and Bahrain.
He called for immediate multi-stakeholder engagement toward de-escalation, adding that the conflict's regionalization poses a serious threat to global peace and security.
Ndegwa Njiru says that while Kenya may have its own stance on the conflict, it would have been preferable for the government to remain silent rather than make a statement.
He maintained that silence has power and that it can occasionally be strategically advantageous to remain impartial.
