Imam's Line

Imam's Line (Persian: خط امام‎) is a term equivalent to the party line approved by the "Imam"—Ayatollah Khomeini in the Iranian revolutionary terminology.[1]

During early years of the revolution, various groups claimed to follow the line such as Islamist Combatant Clergy Association, Movement of Militant Muslims and Mojahedin of the Islamic Revolution Organization,[2] as well as the communist Tudeh Party of Iran.[3]

gollark: There are no "too powerful" computers.
gollark: Unlike some sort of resource allocator AI, I am already a proven solution.
gollark: As supreme eternal world dictator.
