Khomeini, Ruhollah (Ayatollah)
- Khomeini, Ruhollah (Ayatollah)
(1900-1989)
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini was the famous
Iranian cleric who led the Shiite
Islamist movement that overthrew the
shah of Iran,
Muhammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, in 1979 and then established an Islamic Republic in Iran. Initially, the Iranian Kurds welcomed Khomeini because he had ended the shah's rule. Soon, however, deadly combat broke out between the Iranian Kurds and the new Islamic government because Khomeini saw the Kurdish wish for autonomy as a challenge to his concept of the unity of
Islam. Despite initial successes, the Iranian Kurdish guerrillas were defeated by 1983.
