Tehran: ABOLHASSAN BANISADR, Iran’s first president after the 1979 Islamic Revolution The country escaped Tehran after being powered out because it challenged the power of the developing scholars when the nation became theocracy, died on Saturday.
He was 88 years 15 years before that happened.
These differences only isolate him when the nationalists tried to instill the economy of the socialist style in Iran supported by his deep beliefs invested by his scholar’s father.
Banisadr will never consolidate his grip on the government that is said to be the events far beyond his control, such as the crisis of the US Embassy and Iranian invasion by Iraq, only adds to the commotion that follows the revolution.
True power remains strong with the highest leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who works with banisadr in exile in France and followed back to Tehran in the middle of the revolution.
But Khomeini will throw banisadr to the side after only 16 months in the office, send him back to Paris, where he will stay for decades.
“I’m like a child who watched my father slowly turn into alcoholic addicts,” Banisadr said then said about Khomeini.
“This medicine is strength.” The Banisadr family in a statement on Saturday said he died in a hospital in Paris after a long disease.
