Imam Khomeini said in a historic message that Martyr Ayatollah Dr. Sayyid Mohammad Hosseini Beheshti was himself a nation for us.
The religious and spiritual leader of the Muslim world made these remarks after Beheshti was assassinated in a terror attack more than three decades ago.
Beheshti and several of his colleagues lost their lives in the attack on June 28, 1981, when a bomb exploded during a party meeting which is known as (Hafte tir bombing).
Beheshti and his colleagues were assassinated in the bomb explosion during a meeting of the Islamic Republic Party. The bomb was planted by the MKO, which at that time was involved in a campaign of bombings and assassinations against officials of the Islamic Republic.
Dr. Beheshti was considered as a right-hand of the great Imam a key figure of the Islamic Revolution. He remained alongside the great Imam during tough years of struggle against the global arrogance and colonialism.
The spiritual leader of the Muslim world, Imam Khomeini, frequently used to appreciate Beheshti’s political wisdom and his knowledge of worldly and religious affairs.
Meanwhile, several ceremonies are being held on the 34 martyrdom of Beheshti’s and his colleagues in Iran and across the globe.
A main event to honor martyred Behesti and his colleagues was held in ‘Sarcheshmeh’ cultural center in the Iranian capital Tehran which was attended by several senior officials and public masses.
