Seyyed Ahmad Mostafavi (March 14, 1945 – March 15, 1994), known as Seyyed Ahmad Khomeini, was the second son of Seyyed Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Ahmad Khomeini played an important role in organizing his father’s relations with officials in the years before and after the revolution. He was a representative of the second term in the Assembly of Experts, a full member of the Expediency Discernment Council, and a member of the Supreme National Security Council and the Supreme Council for the Cultural Revolution.
His support for the presidency of Abolhassan Banisadr and his dismissal, his closeness to the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization, the occupation of the US embassy in Tehran, the dismissal of Hossein Ali Montazeri, his appointment as head of the Iranian Radio and Television, his involvement in the destruction of the Reza Shah mausoleum, the executions of 1988, and the accusation of forging his father’s handwriting are some of the notable cases that have been raised about Khomeini.
