A theocracy is a form of government in which religious leaders control political authority, interpreting laws based on religious doctrine. The ruler in a theocracy can vary depending on the specific religious framework; for instance, in Iran, the Supreme Leader holds significant power and serves as both a religious and political leader. In other cases, such as in certain historical contexts, a theocratic ruler may be a high priest or a religious figure believed to be divinely appointed. Ultimately, the authority of a theocracy is derived from religious beliefs rather than secular governance.
