DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 75, left hospital on Monday a week after undergoing prostate surgery, state television reported. Official media said he was in good health.
Khamenei succeeded Supreme Leader and founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989. He was Iran's president for two successive terms from 1981-1989 and survived an assassination attempt that paralysed his right arm in 1981.
