Spiritual calm during the aerial bombardment of Tehran

Self-assurance of the Imam in the aerial strikes of Kharg Island

The translation had not ended that he arose from his seat

His countenance changed dramatically

Gorbachev’s reply to the Imam

The Foreign Minister of the Soviet Union, who delivered the reply from Gorbachev to the Imam, delivered it with a shaky hand and an uncomfortable look on his face. The translator, who was known for his fluency and rapid translations, kept stuttering when speaking to the Imam. The Imam gave a swift reply to Gorbachev, telling him that he had not read his statement well.
