AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Like in previous years, a commemoration ceremony is planned to be held in Tehran on Monday, June 3, marking the demise anniversary of Imam Khomeini (RA).
It will be organized at the mausoleum of the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, starting at 8 AM on Monday.
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei will deliver a speech at the event, according to the Office for Preservation and Publication of Ayatollah Khamenei’s Works.
Every year at the ceremony, the Leader delivers a speech elaborating on the foundations and principles of the school of Imam Khomeini (RA) as well as major domestic and international issues.
A large number of people are expected to gather at the mausoleum of Imam Khomeini, south of Tehran, on Monday 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.
