Five years after the revolution that toppled the Shah Ayatullah Khomeini's theocratic regime has consolidated its power at home, settled most of its international debts and demonstrated that it is willing to hurl a virtually limitless number of young volunteers against Iraq in kamikaze-like assaults (see following story).
