I left Iran on March 31, 2009. I remember martial law, the return of Khomeini to Iran,and the takeover of our Embassy on February 14, 1979. Khomeini and the mullahs seized the levers of power killing off the opposition, including their fellow revolutionaries.
Nassiri was imprisoned in late 1978 and was executed on February 16 by a firing squad. Khomeini entered Iran on February 1.
