On this day, 36 years ago, on June 3, 1989 (April 30, 1989 in the lunar calendar), Iranian religious leader Khomeini died of illness. The crowd rushed to the coffin to mourn the old man who had been in exile for 15 years. When he was 78 years old, he launched the Islamic Revolution, gained substantial leadership in Iran, and became Iran's religious leader. Since then, he has tried to bring an Islamic world that has been "alienated by Western culture" back to the "right track" of Islamic fundamentalism. Since then, Iran fell into a political struggle. President Banisade was ousted by the National Assembly and went into exile. Later, Raj, who succeeded as president, died in an explosion. Finally, Khomeini's close confidant Khamenei was elected president. The year after Khomeini returned to China, the Iran-Iraq War broke out. Because both sides refused to give in, the war took nearly eight years to cease fire under the mediation of the United Nations, but it has caused millions of casualties and affected many foreign oil tankers sailing in the Persian Gulf. In February 1989, Britain and Iran broke off diplomatic relations due to Khomeini's book "The Poetry of the Sadan" by the British writer Rushdie, which aroused Khomeini's dissatisfaction and issued an order to kill Rushdie. He used extreme methods to mobilize the most intense religious sentiments in the world today to resist the Western "invasion". In the eyes of his nemesis, he is "the most notorious dictator in modern times" and has set Iran back "centuries." But to those who love him, he is an irreplaceable god. Whether they oppose him or support him, people all admit that he is a knowledgeable and extremely wise person, and at the same time an extremely frugal and considerate person. Thousands of Iranians squeezed forward desperately to tear off bits of the shroud to take home and worship it forever. In the great sorrow of losing their spiritual leader, they still believed that the objects that were close to him could convey his spirit. This photo used by the Associated Press London bureau was taken in Iran at the funeral of religious leader Khomeini on June 5, 1989. The crazy and uncontrollable emotional impulse displayed by the crowd at this time expressed people's infinite sadness at the loss of the religious leader who seemed to be able to lead them to victory in the revolution. Khomeini's condition suddenly deteriorated two weeks after undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal bleeding and died of illness on June 3 at the age of 88. People crowded madly in front of his coffin just to tear off a small shroud as an offering
