Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini (1979) | 60 Minutes Archive 

Hi pal I would like to recommend to u the best article i have ever found written about iran and what really happened Written by a great american James perloff, president pf the john birch society If u google the new american magazine, iran and what really happened Its free

I remember as a youngster watching this too when it first aired. Everything in this story makes much more sense to me as an adult.

He was shot

Isn't his name Ghotbzadeh Sadegh?

@@Ohana9999 yes

Really? Omg

Shot or hanged? Or both?

Your most welcome

​@@bobfitz8701 your most welcome as well

You could tell this was a very tense and challenging interview. Wallace was very respectful and professional. He knew how to be civil but was trying to ask difficult questions at the same time.

Nothing civil was ever done by Kohmeini.

Khomeini barely knew how to compose basic sentences in Persian

Civil?! What you on about?! He. Can't answer even a simple question without claiming this is Eslam doing , he was a crazy mad man who destroyed my country

@@ilovepeoplebro 😂😂😂😂😂 ....n still d rule d persia 😂😂😂😂

It gets even funnier if you knew that Khomeini could somehow understand what he was saying but didnt give a damn

Long live Iran 🇮🇷

Khomeini would not allow anyone else to interpret. Only his own stooges! I hope if there is life after this, he is burning in hell!

​@@LosAngeles-Skincare i don't know much about tha matter. but you seem to want him to suffer. can you please elaborate on why ?

Yes, many terrorists do that.

Khomeini. Ruhollah Khomeini.

Mike Wallace, shaken not stirred. ​@@blitzzkrieg1400

Hahaaa

lol so true

Bro these people excecuted over 20000 political prisoners. They are not better than America or Israel. I highly doubt that Islam agrees to this evil regime.

Yeah just don't protest against them like now because you'll get beat and shot like all the protesters during the protests.

Your Imam talked from behind. Don't take him too seriously.

​@taratara3986 your media talked from behind..don't take it too seriously..

​@@Ali_alrida12121Noone takes the media seriously

@@taratara3986 do zionists talk from the same place

The translator in the room waits for AK to finish his hole speach before translating, that takes time.

then use his translation not someone else's@@NinossoniN

They said some answers were scripted

I was thinking the same thing

No it was in star wars 😂

I agree but did you hear all of the questions that WOULDN'T be answered?

Not really. Oriana Fallaci tried that and while asking a question, she removed her scarf. Khomeini discontinued.

Interview with Al-Shaytan... black turban and glimmering hatred 😂😂

Or with Bin Laden in 1997 or Saddam in 1992

​@@pallasathena1369What about interview with George W.Bush, Biden, Sarkozy ?

yes the sheytaan is in suites likes of Your Leaders​@@pallasathena1369

And her son lives in America😂😂😂

@@Star_sky23 Yep, many of the regime prefer to educate their kids in The Great Satan. But they are the privileged 10% who put up with the Islamic regime because they are making millions out of it. When the regime falls, these Iranians will be the first on the planes out to US, Canada and UK, just like when the Shah fell. I lived there for a few years until recently and have a Persian wife.

And she has no power at all, she is just there to show everybody "Look we made a woman a minister".

And majority of Iranian people who are against the regime are suffering inside the country.

@@lsakvidovic8187 Have been for over 40 yrs. My wife is Persian. We have close friends who served time Evin prison. It took them two months in hospital to recover after one month in Evin.

Interestingly, depending on which position you already agree with, the same journalistic piece will be seen as either honest or dishonest.

Well they certainly didn't say the election was stolen back then. That's relatively new. Until trump started calling anyone who reported on what he said or did"fake news". What exactly does your statement mean? Do tell. How are they lacking in integrity these days. I agree some definitely are but which ones specifically.

@@brianwalsh1401 We saw this shift in NEWS intergrity when Rupert Murdoch and others in the "Media" industry began to go to "War" with each and Cable News Network (24 hour practically brain washing propaganda began) depending on which network you watch. We used to watch 5PM or 10PM News and that was it. Of course Social Media plays a HUGE factor. This type of politically BIAS Mainstream propaganda has always existed on some level. It has just now been taken to the next level. I feel today, they intentionally make things so chaotic, race or politically related intentionally so we are always second guessing everything. 60 Minutes used to do some pretty hard-lined exposure or fact finding segments. With the intention of EXPOSING Corrupton. I now think MSM NEWS has been engineered to HIDE corruption. Because the Corrupt are the ones whom own these Networks. And can destroy a Journalists Career if they speak real Truth. Yes it was probably corrupt in a way then. But now is next level.On the election fraud, yes election fraud is 100% real. They literally stopped counting votes at 2AM and drove in an insane amont of "Mail-In-Ballots". They even started covering up the windows in Vote Counting Stations in the middle of the night. 99% of Countries in this World, even Iraq & Afghanistan do not allow Mail-In-Ballots unless someone is a diplomat, military or some other very good reason for mailing in. It is a corrupt system that the media protects. A REAL Journalist would be investigating Voter Fraud. The Dominion Voting machines used in Venezuela 100% threw that election that lead to the implosion of that country. And when the media started investigating it in Venezuela, and Government officials were calling for an investigation, the storage facility holding all the Dominion Voting Machines & Computer Data about that election mysteriously caught on fire in the middle of the night and was burnt to the ground. The Media stayed as far away from that story as possible. I believe The Guardian (UK) reported on this, then they were bought out by one of these Media Conglomerates and their entire platform of exposing TRUTH was scrubbed. Everyday Civilians are now the new "investigative journalists"

I feel like journalism was a lot more fascinating and appealing back then. Today too much political drama is involved. Back then it was about questions, answers, and truth.

they didn't, back then there way more propganda to the US interests now its still the same but u have more sides and some actually against US interests even so they less mainstream.

Finally someone uttering sensible stuff in the comments!!!

Not quite true. Arafat was assassinated by a group of hezbullah tied to the Iranian regime . There’s even a street named after the Iranian dude who assassinated Arafat

Nevertheless, the Iranian regime is criminal

Oh it was in a movie, that shredding

The best analytical comment. Excellent.

Facts

both are jewish

What

He boosted a Plane Load of Grey Goose. Viva la France! Hail Ayatollah Blassie Bali Bali !!!

America, shaken not stirred.

My first thought exactly....such a resemblance!!!

😂😂😂😂

Yep foto copy

They look similar don’t they 😂

He unified the resistance,the revolution was a popular revolution with socialists,communists,anarchists and laïc nationalists but just after getting rid the Shah,he started the purge and the war that the US started against him by using Iraq helped him a lot on getting rid of the opposition by accusing them of working for Saddam.

The fact is that the embassy occupation occurred without his knowledge and approval. There were many factions in iran, and khomaini had to support the invasion of embassy in order to maintain his position. The whole invasion and hostage taking was very bad for iran and the Iranian regime but they got drag into it by the more radical faction of the revolutionaries. Also the 1953 coup is seared in Iranian psyche. In retrospect the new revolutionary govt should have just asked western diplomats to leave immediately so as to prevent hostage taking. It was the tail that waggd the dog!

not blindly

@@ArashRezaee aksariate mardom ahmagh boodan

He was the only thing representing an opposition to the Shah at that time that's why the Iranian people choose him

He was more of a Stevie Wonder type of guy

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

That’s strategy, divide to conquer!

He was a criminal. Doesn’t excuse the ayottolah

أذا كان كما توصفه؟أذا لماذا خرج عليه شعبه؟ أمرا مضحك للغاية 😂

Perrito.

On both ways

Poor guy was probably trembling through out the translation.

How so? He didn’t pick the ground rules

Nah he cool

That’s because his supporters warned him and told him not to ask certain questions. Besides Mike Wallace was acting as an ambassador to cool things down . THINK !

@@Lovelife-lw7fy I certainly don't THINK like you!

And the old leader is a discrace to iran now lol

@@AllAboutRU-vidrs13 You have no idea what's going on in Iran right now. Shah once said the truth can be hidden for a while but never destroyed forever !!

The Shah and Mike were buddies takin jabs at each other. The Shah was enjoying the debate and was definitely holding his own. In this interview, Wallace just wants information on the hostages, he’s walking on eggshells because lives are literally at stake.

It's not anger he is trying to be a good voice over actor interpreter... He is auditioning 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Takes one to know one

Because it was a monumental moment in world history?

I'm assuming that no Western journalist even got the chance to ask Khomeini anything to his face before. This was a huge moment in world history. It's like asking "Why would any journalist agree to these terms that Kim Jong Un just gave?"

They made all this to check on the hostages

Darood o salaam bar Imam Khomeini Rizwan Allah taaala

@@dawranali7809 kir dar‌ kos madar to va khomini

You know what is painful too? iranian traiters to this regim like you

Not really. People have had stupid opinions for centuries. He's more like a dime a dozen

Do NOT be stupid he was mossad agent Islamic revolution 1979 was Zionist project

Carter has great character, but he is a terrible judge of character. He wouldn't know an Islamic terrorists if one alu akbared his nursing home.

Sadat is not religious

what’s wild is that they whacked sadat and put the army officer that killed sadat on a stamp in iran

I mean, why did he have balls to ask him that question??

Brilliant interviewer. A legend!

May Allah (swt) continue to protect the Wilayat-e-Faqhe system

As charismatic as Ted Bundy.

Same and I was even more surprised to learn that Sean Connery was once the Supreme Leader of Iran.

@@user-tk1lf5hi6f Little did we know it was all a skit gone terribly wrong

@@EricRosenwaldPhotography 🤣

Maybe he is an Iranian Jew

😂

There is no need that you americans worry about our freedom in iran Just keep your head in your own business Ty😂

My your own business

@@Mossaab-kg3cj5hc5s 😂😂😂

While Iran itself practiced slavery of blacks for far longer than the US did.

He is a sigma.

It's a sign of piety to gaze down when speaking.

refer back to 9:34 he couldn’t ask a specific question because it was “crossed out”

@@amansaggi5 because it was nonsese question. didnt you get it?

and you're not wrong ☺️🤣

Who

lol...i agree.

@@jiwoooppa6889 especially their lovefest of 1979 too bad his ugly house in France where he hid his candy a-- for a year was destroyed lol

Like the Western politicians?

If he was a real Muslim and follower of prophet Muhammad's teachings Sunnah yes but he was a shia rafidah

​@@AtrueservantofAllahshia is the truth

Lol bullas

there is no freedom in Islam, Islam means death.

You’re right but he didn’t care about islam all he wanted to do was ruling iran at every cost

@@whereisthelambsauce7753 it’s apparent now that it was all cosmetic. The forcing of “rituals” never been a ruling I heard of historically

@@xxk3rd196 he was most powerful man in iran during his 10 years of ruling iran and he ruined our beautiful country

Before he talked, he praise his God with bismillahirrahmanirrahim. It's how he respect islam. And after ruling,he implement islam and Quran as pure as can be. Not like the monarchy who life glamor life and religion is just an symbol. So my opinion is quite the contrary. he is the true leader of Islam.

And you still expect them to save you?

even some believers would see Khomeinis face on the moon back in 1979 :)

thank god for Khomeini giving gods people what their greatest desire to be a bunch of religious maniacs

@@mafiosoginger what great religious fervor that is for hallucinating maniacs

@@mafiosoginger oooooou that's even better than seeing a Jesus picture in a piece of toast.

khomoonmania is a psycho-pathological process to deify a religious figure induced by an extreme state of religious paranoia

This is where I think you dont understand politics. Even I dont on several occasions, but this one I do. Its about long term establishment of trust and not just about saving face. If US had given up the Shah, then there was a chance no middle east leader anywhere would ever trust them again and thats needed to solify a base everywhere. If the US gave up foreign leaders in exchange for civilians, pretty sure no ally would trust them again. It is not possible now. The Congress and social media would force US to get their citizens first but it was possible then and they refused to give him up. Carter was never great but this was needed.

@@gghh5873 I understand your point but then you’re just propping up leaders that aren’t supported by their populations. How long can you keep that going on for ?

@@alihusainmdwhy do you all continue to lie we installed the Shah when he assumed the throne in 1941? It was Mossadegh who attempted to overthrow the Shah using phony emergency powers in a rigged vote. Did we intervene, yes, did we back the Shah in the power struggle, yes. But we didn’t “install” him.

Who ever place shah he was doin great for his country yes I agree there was no political activity allowed but look around you see the results so it let us know that he was right he knew Khomeini he knew mojahedin he knew Russian spy in that situation you can’t do much

According to the latest CIA declassified files, the Shah has not been installed by a CIA coup (see the link). The overthrowing of Shah's regime in 1979 was an elaborated plan orchestrated by the U.S., U.K. and oil cartels. Your analysis is so twisted and outdated. We are sooo lucky that you didn't become a politician! Link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vAfnPZPlxcU.htmlsi=M6YRKtBC1VMzOkA6

@@vivaldyma2721 Thank You 😁

The problem started when the elected president was overthrown in 1953 to put in the Shah.

@@brianwalsh1401 👍 American-British coup d'état

@@brianwalsh1401 'the elected president'? I guess you're talking about Mosaddegh? FYI, it was the sole constitutional right of the King (and only the King) to select the Prime Minister (NOT the president). He gave the chance to Mosaddegh and asked the Parliament to vote for his choice simply to respect the so-called representatives of the people. Mosaddegh was NEVER a democratically elected PM. Got it?

As an iranian i must say This is not true

Mike Wallace home

Fake attitude.

@@fastfreddy7890 خفه

@Blue Shorts TV no he was a criminal and a dictator

The worst part of it all is that these Iranians went into the streets and heard these dumb statements from Khomeini but they still choose to support this guy over the Shah
