【Bon appétit !】 Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini was an Iranian politician and Shia cleric(聖職者) who founded the Islamic Republic of Iran and served as its first supreme leader from 1979 until his death in 1989. He was the main leader of the Islamic Revolution, which overthrew Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and transformed Iran into a theocratic(神権政治の) Islamic republic. Khomeini was Time magazine's Man of the Year in 1979 for his international influence and in the next decade was described as the "virtual face of Shia Islam in Western popular culture".
