When pro-Reza Shah generals overthrew the government of nationalist Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh in 1953, Iranian clerics continued their covert campaign against the Shah of Iran, and a few years later Ayatollah Khomeini emerged as a great leader on the horizon of Iranian politics. 

On October 28, 1964, when the Shah of Iran's government passed a law under which Iranian law would not apply to what the Americans wanted to do, the next day, Imam Khomeini inaugurated the city of Afaq at Madrasa Fayzia Qom. He said to the people: O people of Najaf, Qom, Mashhad, Tehran and Shiraz! I warn you, do not accept this slavery, will you remain silent and say nothing?

Imam Khomeini, in other places, declared himself above the prevailing diplomatic customs and presented the role of a true revolutionary leader, as exemplified by the fatwa on the assassination of the accursed Salman Rushdie. 

The benefits of Imam Khomeini's revolutionary ideas also reached the oppressed Muslims of Palestine, and Imam Khomeini uttered the great phrase, "Israel must be wiped off the face of the earth." Should Imam Khomeini was never ready to back down from his revolutionary stance, and the first consequence of this thinking was that the great Israeli embassy in Tehran was demolished and the building was converted into a Palestinian embassy. Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat He came to Tehran to meet Imam Khomeini and thus the Islamic movements all over the world began to see a new horizon. Imam Khomeini's thoughts were based on the fact that religion and politics are not separate from each other.
