Ruhollah Khomeyni
Data di nascita: 22. Settembre 1902
Data di morte: 3. Giugno 1989
Ruḥollāh Moṣṭafāvī Mōsavī Khomeynī è stato un politico e religioso iraniano.
Fu un Grande ayatollah , capo spirituale e politico del suo Paese dal 1979 al 1989. Il suo governo fu ispirato alla religione islamica secondo un'ottica sciita duodecimana, e fu impostato in ossequio a uno stretto approccio fondamentalista.
Il regime da lui instaurato inaugurò in Iran una linea di potere che fu definita, in maniera approssimativa, "teocratica", e che sopravvive tuttora.
