The late founder of the Islamic Republic opted to live in a simply-built house in Jamaran neighborhood in northern part of the Iranian capital, Tehran.
Imam Khomeini security arrangements were handled by members of Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).
Senior officers say Imam was concerned that the neighbors shouldn’t be disturbed or bothered in any situation by security forces deployed in the area.
Imam Khomeini in his messages and speeches had described himself a servant to the Iranian nation.
People within close circles of Imam say he had always been kind to people and attached great significance to them.
Even during his stay in exile on the suburbs of the French capital, Imam had recommended that compensations should be paid to the owners if any damages were done to the house and hotel where Imam was residing. Imam advised that compensations must be paid even if damages were done due to frequent arrivals and departure of guests.
The victory of Islamic Revolution in 1979 under the wise leadership of Imam Khomeini changed the balance of power in the interest of the oppressed nations.
