10:43Now PlayingFive hundred years ago, a teenage warlord reshaped Iran forever.

From the rise of the Safavid Empire to the belief in the Hidden Imam, Bianca Nobilo explores how religion, power, and politics became inseparably linked.
Bianca Nobilo looks at how that moment still shapes Iran today and why the country now has a Supreme Leader.
