By: Sheikh M Khurasani

TEHRAN, Iran: The 21st anniversary of the death of the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran Grand Ayatollah Sayed Ruhollah Khomeini Al-Moosavi was commemorated on Friday June 4.

Main ceremony was held in the Khomeini Mausoleum in southern Tehran attended by hundreds of thousands of people as well as high-ranking political and military officials of the Islamic state, including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Ahmadinejad once again outlined the role of Khomeini in the Islamic revolution and said that the late ayatollah never gave in to political pressure by imperialistic powers.

"The Imam (Khomeini) started a new movement which will continue until it is globalized," Ahmadinejad said.
