Top 20 most powerful people in the world for 2015 – See who’s number 1! (With Pictures)

18. Ali Hosseini-Khamenei 

The Supreme Leader of Iran was in the news in 2015 for coming to terms on a nuclear agreement that was controversial around the world. Those who may have seen that agreement as proof that the United States and Iran were on the brink of a historic partnership may need to step back and reflect on things a bit more. Ali Hosseini-Khamenei, according to a USNews.com story, had the following to say about the western superpower as recently as November 2015: “America is the main part of the problem in the region, not part of the solution.” We guess he won’t be Christmas shopping in the United States this year.
