Advocate of 'senseless war on God' passes away

On January 7, 1989, the late founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini sent a historic letter to the last Soviet-era President Mikhail Gorbachev.

A decade after the passing of Imam Khomeini, Gorbachev admitted that circumstances would not have been the way they unfolded had the Soviet Union taken Imam Khomeini’s words in the letter.
