Clearly, Supreme Leader is not just a translation choice when the BBC mentions it quite specifically numerous times in this article.
This is such a obviously intentional misinterpretation, but for the sake of clarity:
No, they're arguing that he is referred to by a Persian term that directly translates to "supreme leader"
No doubt that he's called that. I think the term is ridiculous and wonder why they give these people such silly titles.
But it goes beyond being a "translation choice".
I don't know what you're going on about. "Supreme Leader" is such an ego-inflated, better-than-thou title.
It's hilarious and silly to put on a leader. English, non-English, Iran or the UK. It doesn't matter! LOL
