Part 21 - JULY 23 1988
"I repeat that the acceptance of this issue is more lethal for me than poison; but I surrender to God's satisfaction. I have drunk this for the sake of God's satisfaction." - Ayatollah Khomeini
Khomeini repeated how painful it had been for him to accept Resolution 598, but provided no information as to what had prompted him to do so. The Supreme leader, however made it very clear that the decision had been made by Iranian officials without any foreign interference.
