IRAN IRAN
Ruhollah Khomeini was the Iranian Shi’ite cleric who led the revolution that overthrew Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi in 1979. He was Iran’s ultimate political and religious authority for the next 10 years.
Creation of Country Islamic Revolution April 1, 1979
Iran has long borders in common with Iraq. Iranians are ethnically not Arabs. Iran defended itself against Iraqi invasion in 1980, a war that lasted eight years. Many Arab and Western countries, including the United States provided weapons (including biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction) and technical support for Iraq's Saddam Hussein.
Ali Khamenei is an Iranian Shi’ite clergyman and politician who served as president of Iran (1981–89) and as that country’s rahbar, or leader, from 1989. A religious figure of some significance, Khamenei was generally addressed with the honorific ayatollah, the supreme leader of Iran.
Now, the West is trying hard to prevent Iran from mastering nuclear technology. They voice their concern claiming that Iran's intention is to develop nuclear weapons. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has reported numerous times that there is no evidence that Iran is developing nuclear weapons, however, it also says that it can not say for sure that Iran is not doing so in secret. A CIA report on nuclear activity in Iran, in December 2007 claimed that Iran's secret program to achieve nuclear weapons technology was stopped in 2003, and that since then, it was never restarted. It reports that Iran's ability to build a nuclear weapon is unlikely.
