Almost every day, government officials, military officers, clerics and foreign representatives travel to Khomeini's modest home in Jamaran, a village north of Tehran. Some have been summoned to brief the Ayatullah on everything from logistic problems on the Iraqi front to statistics on mosque attendance. Others who wish to see Khomeini must submit a request through a cleric who acts as an appointments secretary; Khomeini receives only a small proportion of those seeking an audience. Sometimes he will make an appearance at the mosque adjacent to his house. There...
...governing hierarchy, including its security apparatus. Indeed, late last week another bomb killed Iran's general revolutionary prosecutor, Hojjatoleslam Ali Qoddousi, in his office near Tehran's Qasr Prison. Not even Khomeini is safe. Last month the guerrillas left a powerful bomb in his house at Jamaran, a village on the northern outskirts of Tehran, with the fuse removed to make certain that the device would not explode. In an attached note, the Mujahedin warned Khomeini to surrender...
Khomeini conceded that the loss of his President and Prime Minister was "difficult to bear," but he insisted that his regime would survive. "Our nation will not be shaken at all," he declared in a sermon delivered at the Hoseiniyeh Jamaran mosque north of Tehran. Though Khomeini asked his followers not to be "hasty and un-Islamic" in their treatment of suspects, his admonitions fell on deaf ears: last week Islamic tribunals sent 138 more opponents, including some teen-age girls, before firing squads, raising the total number of political executions since Banisadr's ouster on June...
...Thursday, however, the impression of substantial new progress could not be concealed. In Tehran, Iranian Prime Minister Muhammed Ali Raja'i looked drawn and uneasy as he and Nabavi walked into an austere two-story house in Jamaran, a village north of Tehran, presumably to advise Khomeini of the parliament's action, the latest offers from Algeria and a proposed Iranian response. Raja'i emerged much more relaxed and cheerful. He had received the Ayatullah's consent to send a positive reply. Not only were the negotiations now rushing toward a likely conclusion, but the worried...
...short, unshaven young men in blue jeans and olive-drab flak jackets walked up to the door of Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini's modest house in the Tehran suburb of Jamaran. They were immediately ushered inside. The two visitors had been mere university freshmen until a year ago. On Nov. 4, 1979, they joined an estimated 500 other militants in seizing and occupying the U.S. embassy. Now, while their comrades downtown were preparing to celebrate the first anniversary of the siege, the two young men were reporting to Khomeini to elicit his "guidance" about the vote by the Majlis...
