AI notes: Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its Supreme Leader after the 1979 revolution, died on June 3, 1989, in Tehran, Iran, at the age of 86. His death marked the end of an era in Iranian politics; Khomeini had been a highly influential religious and political leader, shaping Iran’s post-revolutionary government and its policies, including the enforcement of strict Islamic law and the consolidation of clerical power. Following his death, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was appointed as his successor as Supreme Leader, a position he continues to hold today. Khomeini’s funeral was one of the largest in history, reportedly drawing millions of mourners to the streets of Tehran.
