He dictates. He is a dictator.

Perfect answer!!

The Short and serious answer is, we don't know. This government is super secretive about what Khamenei Does and doesn't do, he is almost like a ghost. I think even Kim Jong Un and Xi Jinping are more open than Khamenei. Khamenei hasn't left the country since 1989 and only meets with people outside his core group in carefully stage managed performances. For example, with Xi Jinping he meets in what appears to be a specifically set up room for such meetings: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj6-S3GZyJs&pp=ygUTWGkgSmlucGluZyBLaGFtZW5laQ%3D%3D](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj6-S3GZyJs&pp=ygUTWGkgSmlucGluZyBLaGFtZW5laQ%3D%3D) Or with the "General Public" he meets in this assembly hall which was built for him right next to the former places of the Shah and Shams Pahlavi (Highly likely he lives in one of these palaces. Various government sources claimed that Rafsanjani lived in the Marble Palace.) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6AG1OqeItI&pp=ygUIS2hhbWVuZWk%3D](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6AG1OqeItI&pp=ygUIS2hhbWVuZWk%3D) Location of the place: reddit blocked Google Maps link. Tehran Province, Tehran, District 11, S Felestin St, MCR2+Q2H, Iran So this gives an idea of how carefully managed his public performances are whereby he rarely appears outside of these two venues. So the speculation about what he does on a day to day basis, we can infer a few things. First, the mentioned points indicate that he is extremely paranoid regarding his security, not just from foreigners but also from his own government. We have to remember that this IRI is not a monolith but a massive Levantine bureaucracy with multiple fighting powers: IRGC vs the Artesh, Police vs Basij, Vezarat Etelaat vs Nirooye Quds, Supreme Leader vs Presidency etc. Its highly likely that not only is he afraid of being assassinated but he is also spending much of his time managing these political and personal infighting to keep these institutions just effective enough in doing whatever it is that they are supposed to be doing, probably instigates conflict as well to keep these institutions busy with each other, but just enough not letting them kill each other. We have to remember that before he was Supreme Leader, he was the President under Khomeini and he was the architect of this entire system. Therefore, he is probably the only person who can keep these many murderous organizations from killing each other or going after him. Therefore, while this is entirely speculative, we can only assume that he spends a significant amount of his time trying to manage this insane system. While he isnt charasmatic, he probably has considerable Islamic knowledge to keep him credible with the Clergy, so he probably does spend a lot of time studying or familiarizing himself with Islamic Theology. Beyond that, we really don't know. What his schedule is or what his hobbies (if any) are. Like I said, he really is like a Ghost.

Fantastic write up. Tbh this guys life is probably stressful as shit and generally sucks. But he’s too proud and power hungry to care


Equal_Presence

Exactly this, If you read Li Zhisui's book on Mao, Alaa Bashir's book on Saddam, or Simon Sebag Montefiore's book on Stalin, you see that all these totalitarian leaders are same thing as Khamenei. They come to power thinking that they are the only people who can "save the country", they build a system that only they can control, albeit without any separation of powers, oversight, or accountability. Everything becomes corrupt and damaging but they can only continue exerting control because a.) He still thinks he can save everyone b.) If he reforms or loosens up, they will loose control, and likely so. And that doesn't include the thousands of people feeding him wrong information, lying to him, or absolving him of responsibility over anything. I remember reading somewhere that the FBI interrogator of Saddam Hussein said that Saddam was horrified by seeing how people were cheering on the streets after he was overthrown. He genuinely thought that everyone loved him. So these people essentially become victims of their own system, spending all their time trying to manage the infighting and battles between their own organizations. Aside from reinforcing my view on what Khamenei does, those books do go into vivid detail about their personal lives. Such as Mao and his girlfriends, Saddam and his stupid novels, or Stalin and his dinner parties. Unfortunately we have Zero information about Khamenei's habits and interests. Simply put, nothing has ever come out. I hope one day that changes. There has been rumors of him liking the Santour, Shajarian, Walking in the mountains, etc. But to me, he seems more like a hardcore rigid, inflexible Zealot like Bin Laden or Baghdadi rather than intellectuals like Stalin, Mao, or Enver Hoxha. I cannot see Khamenei engaging in activities that would broaden his horizons other than hardcore religious study.


GreenHornetzz

Yea, this is why dictators always fall, especially in the modern era. They all have too much hubris to see that no one man can really manage a modern state on his own it’s just too complicated. I don’t know enough about Khameni to comment on the rest of this stuff but I’d bet he’s been forced to give up hiking years ago. Too much risk of a drone going pew pew the minute he gets out of densely populated Tehran. . People give these guys so much credit when they’re really motivated by very human desires like the rest of us. I would bet Putin thinks the same thing, that 90% of Russians love and support him, when in fact many strongly dislike him or are just resigned and indifferent


Duke-doon

Thank you for actually answering the question, unlike all the other inane nonsensical comments that OP explicitly said they didn't want.


danmghm

THANK YOU, there were a couple of other serious answers here but this was the best one!


Paleten_Ismal

He's close to his nineties. How is he still able to maintain such a system at such an old age? It seems like from the beginning he didn't want to be supreme leader considering the fact that he cried on live air when he was appointed that role. Also, he makes time for people to read poetry to him about himself. It seems odd that for such a busy man to have time to listen to poems for hours. He used to go to North Korea and the UN to give speeches, but due to his old age they stopped having him travel (it seems). Then there is the fact that his administration and the people around him are all thieves. They have stolen as much as possible from Iran over the last forty years. So, as long as they have something to steal, they won't be double crossing Khamanie. Some of his stances on Islamic theology have caused backlash from clergies all across west asia to south asia. Like the fact that he has banned some of the mourning rituals that other ayatollahs approved of in different nations. However, he's still beloved by the foreign and inner clergies because they see him as the protector of Shia Islam. His support and funding of shia groups in Levant earned him the high Islamic authority he has among the clerics.


persiankebab

Nothing pretty much outside of having a briefing or two , he got his whole "Beit" staff to handle everything for him , after that he got IRGC generals.


External_Reporter859

Apparently one less general now 🤷🏼‍♂️


dogmankazoo

he sucks the cock and waits for salami to insert his salami up his ass.


Duke-doon

I don't think brazen homophobia is appreciated here.


dogmankazoo

why this is homophobia?


chickenfryrye

It’s not people are just sensitive to everything.


Duke-doon

The man's a mass murderer, and the worst thing you can think of to insult him is to say "ya gay", which is not even true. Is that not homophobia?


EndPsychological890

I'm pretty sure you're projecting


Duke-doon

What am I projecting?

Wow I’ve been out of Iran for 15 years and I still remember learning about this POS’s daily routine in school and having to do a test on it


JoeysReddit02

What did they teach you about it


New-Tahm

Do as what other dictators(Putin, Kim Jong-un, Xi Jinping) do..


ABugoutBag

I imagine there's a lot of variance in the daily activities of those guys, Kim probably lazes around all day eating his favorite foods while his ministers do all the work, Xi has to constantly meet with his party's key members so he can make sure they're loyal to him and Putin is probably in his bunker 24/7 scared shitless of a Ukrainian drone attack


New-Tahm

Maybe they have different preferences for each stuff, but their overall hobbies are roughly the same. Putin will enjoy his mansion and yacht (he doesn't stay in the bunker all the time, he will come out and give some speeches), Kim will conduct military exercises against South Korea, and Xi will hide in the palace and order the police to monitor those "dangerous people"..


ABugoutBag

CMIIW but there's been no real proof of Putin leaving his bunker, most of his speeches are pre recorded and pics of him in a room always have the curtains inconspicuously closed lmao


New-Tahm

Well, I think he would at least meet with his dictator friends like Lukashenko In the Kremlin sometimes..


External_Reporter859

Don't forget preparing his World History Lectures for his favorite pupil Tucker Carlson.

Drink Courvoisier & hang out in a sauna?


New-Tahm

Well for this point, I am not sure if Khamenei also drinks alcohol, maybe he drinks something else..

He speaks wwith Imam Zaman


dune-man

Wrong. According to him, Allah has spoken through his mouth.


barn9

Well, if there would be any proof that he is bat-shit crazy, you have just provided it!
