Pictured here, the Imam Khomeini Hussainiya, part of the House of Leadership, is the place where the Supreme Leader usually meets public.[1]

House of Leadership (Persian: بیت رهبری; Beit Rahbari) is the official residence, bureaucratic office and principal workplace of the Supreme Leader of Iran[2] since 1989.

Its structure is a mixture of traditional Beit (religious office of Marja') and modern beurocracy.[3]

The institution is located in central Tehran[4] and is run by Mohammad Mohammadi Golpayegani.[5]
