Undeniably the power in the Iranian government is with the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The Islamic Republic of Iran is a constitutional theocracy
In a speech on August 22 Ayatollah Khamenei criticized separation of religion and politics, adding certain individuals worship according to the Qur'an but reject its politics, while some others confine Islam in politics, sidestepping morality and spirituality. He averred that 'religion and government' as well as 'morality and state' originate from the Qur'an.
Ayatollah Khamenei said the Islamic umma definitely needs to establish an Islamic government that in addition to moral and spiritual nurturing of the Muslims provides the ground for their all-out economic, political, scientific and cultural progress and defends their interests in the face of enemies of Islam by relying on the capabilities of Muslim nations.
From wikipedia
Politics of Iran takes place in the framework of an Islamic theocratic republic. The December 1979 constitution, and its 1989 amendment, define the political, economic, and social order of the Islamic Republic of Iran. It declares that Shi'a Islam of the Twelver (Jaafari) sect is Iran's official religion.
The Supreme Leader of Iran is responsible for the delineation and supervision of "the general policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran". The Supreme Leader is Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, controls the military intelligence and security operations; and has sole power to declare war. The Constitution defines the President as the highest state authority after the Supreme Leader. The President is elected by universal suffrage, by those 15 years old and older for a term of four years.
The Supreme Leader of Iran is Âyatollâh Seyyed ‘Alî Hossaynî Khâmene’î (Persian: آیتالله سید علی حسینی خامنهای .)
The President of Iran is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Iran is not ruled by one person that is the president.The president is only a coodinator and the final decider or final decision maker because in Islamic teaching all important decisions should be discussed deliberately with his ministers before it is implemented.
