The Islamic Republic has a political model of a republican system while maintaining an elite revolutionary Islamic council's absolute rule. That is why the country has a president and a supreme leader concurrently. The Supreme Leader of Iran maintains unquestionable power. The president of Iran is secondary to the supreme leader. The Supreme Leader is the unadulterated head of state, while Iran's president is the government's head.

The organization that elects the Supreme Leader of Iran is called The Assembly of Experts of Leadership. The president of Iran is selected through a popular vote. However, the Supreme leader determines who should run for president. The Supreme leader can be overthrown from office by the Assembly of Experts only. The president of Iran can be dismissed by the supreme leader.

The president of Iran monitors the cabinet, selects ambassadors and governors, and appoints the defense minister and intelligence chief, but he needs the Supreme Leader's approval. The president operates as the chief executive with limited powers, and the supreme leader is the absolute ruler.

The president of Iran and the Supreme Leader of Iran are two different offices in Iran. The president of Iran is the head of the executive branch of the Iranian government. On the other hand, the Supreme Leader of Iran is recognized by the Iranian constitution as the head of state. The Supreme Leader of Iran is also the commander-in-chief of the entire armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Constitutionally, the Supreme Leader of Iran has more power than the President of Iran. For instance, the supreme leader of Iran has absolute power to dismiss the president of Iran. The president of Iran is the head of the government; as such, he has more formal functions. The Supreme Leader of Iran is elected by the Assembly of Experts of Leadership. On the contrary, the President of Iran is elected through an election, and the person with a popular vote becomes the president.

One of the differences between the president of Iran with the presidents of other countries is that this president will not have control over the whole government of Iran. In fact, the president would need to follow what the supreme leader of Iran has started. The Supreme Leader will be in charge of all of the things that are connected to making the government better. The Supreme Leader is also considered to be the most powerful person in Iran. Another difference between the two is that the president will be elected while the supreme leader is normally appointed. Take note that the supreme leader would also assume command in the Armed Forces.
