Iran Press/Iran news: Exactly 56 years ago on 5 June 1963, a turning point occurred in the history of the Islamic Revolution, and the Islamic movement of the Iranian nation started.
Following a historic speech by Imam Khomeini (RA) on that day, at the Faiziyeh Qom seminary, agents of the Pahlavi regime attacked the home of the late Imam in Qom and arrested the Imam.
On the day of Ashura in 1963, the late Imam Khomeini (may his soul rest in peace) made a historic and forthright speech, exposing the crimes of the Pahlavi regime and the secret relations between the Israeli and Pahlavi regimes.
The Iranian people in cities and towns throughout the country, rose in defense of the late Imam when he was arrested on 5 June 1963. Extensive demonstrations and rallies in defense of the Imam shook the Pahlavi regime to its core.
