DESCRIPTION:

June 5, 1963, is the anniversary of an uprising in Iran, referred to as the 15th of Khordad. Iranian historians and the people point to this event as the beginning of the Islamic Revolution. The event began with a speech by Imam Seyed Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini, who would go on to lead the opposition to the repressive monarchy. He would later be known to the West as Ayatollah Khomeini. His speech exposed the back-channel collusion between the Pahlavi regime and the state of Israel. Angered by the disclosure, the people rose in protest. Agents of the government intervened, arresting and killing several of the protesters.

The actions of the 15th of Khordad were the first time the people openly challenged the much-hated regime. Khomeini would lead the revolutionaries and ultimately depose the Shah in 1979. That deposition ushered in the current Iranian Republic, headed by an Ayatollah and governed by a President.

The 15th of Khordad is a national holiday in Iran.
