AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The ceremonies and event marking the 35th anniversary of Imam Khomeini’s (RA) demise will be held with the motto of “Imam; True Promise’.
This is according to the commander of Muhammad Rasulullah Corps in Tehran Province, who noted that Imam Khomeini (RA) had made the promise that the Zionist regime will be annihilated.
General Hassan Hassanzadeh made the remarks during a visit to the mausoleum of Imam Khomeini (RA), south of Tehran, to pay tribute to the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
He noted that Imam Khomeini (RA) said that the Zionist regime should be wiped out and Palestinians should regain their land and establish an Islamic government there.
General Hassanzadeh also noted that necessary preparations and coordination with different related bodies have been made for organizing the ceremonies marking the 35th anniversary of the passing away of Imam Khomeini (RA).
A large number of people are expected to gather at the mausoleum of Imam Khomeini early next month to pay tribute to the late founder of the Islamic Republic and renew allegiance with his ideals.
Ayatollah Ruhollah Moussavi Khomeini, better known as Imam Khomeini, engineered Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, which led to the overthrow of the US-backed Shah of Iran.
Born in 1902, he grew to become the iconic leader of the Iranian nation’s struggle in the 1970s against the centuries-old monarchical tyranny.
Imam Khomeini passed away on June 3, 1989, at the age of 87.
