West should close Iran's nuclear file, says nuclear chief

[Breaking News] WASHINGTON - The Obama Administration sent a letter to Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling for an improvement in relations, prior to the June 12 disputed presidential elections, which were followed by massive people protests. Ayatollah Khamenei confirmed the letter toward the end of a lengthy sermon on Friday, in which he accused the United States of fomenting protests in his country in the aftermath of the disputed June 12 presidential election.

Ayatollah Khomeini quotes, before and after the revolution ...

[Andisheh : some thoughts on Iran] Now this construction of a doctrine and Leader of the masses is continuing under Ayatollah Khamenei even though he doesn’t have the religious importance as Khomeini did. Now with the run-up to the presidential elections in Iran, this manipulative nature of the regime will again show its strength as people turn out in millions and vote for the selected ones.

Informed Comment: Iran's Sudden Support for Iraq-US Security Pact

[Informed Comment] I leave the matter regarding Ayatollah Khomeini being supposedly for 1/4 Indian to more qualified individuals.**** I take however the opportunity and mention that there is very good reason to believe that at least from his father's side, Ayatollah Khomeini is of Jewish heritage: his father's name was Mustafa Musavi, where Musavi means of, or pertaining to Musa, in which Musa refers to Moses. All Musavis, Persian and non-Persians, are of Jewish heritage.

Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini

[Lexicorient.com] Two titles have been used for him, 'Ayatollah', which is the title of a religious leader, but not the highest in Shi'i Islam. This was Khomeini's title at the time of the Iranian revolution, but he soon took the title 'Imam', which is definitely the highest position in Shi'i Islam.

History of Iran: Ayatollah Khomeini

[Iranchamber.com] On the afternoon of 'Ashoura (June 3, 1963), Imam Khomeini delivered a speech at the Feyziyeh madreseh in which he drew parallels between the Umayyad caliph Yazid and the Shah and warned the Shah that if he did not change his ways the day would come when the people would offer up thanks for his departure from the country. The immediate effect of the Imam's speech was, however, his arrest two days later at 3 o'clock in the morning by a group of commandos who hastily transferred him to the Qasr prison in Tehran.

Ayatollah Khomeini

 [Rotten.com] At the end of the Iran-Iraq war, Khomeini faced a public that had been demoralized by massive casualties and a peace agreement which amounted to an outright defeat. To cheer up the masses, the normally humorless cleric decided to have a little fun and issued a fatwa, or religious edict, calling on Muslims everywhere to kill an obscure, semi-talented author named Salman Rushdie for writing a tepid book called The Satanic Verses:
