Shaheed Mostafa was the son of Imam Khomeini.
Khomeini was born in Qom on 12 December 1930. He was the eldest son of Ayatollah Khomeini and Khadijeh Saqafi. He studied at the Qom Theological Center and graduated there.
Shaheed Mostafa had participated in his father's movement. He was arrested and imprisoned by the Shah regime in 1963 events and also, after his father's exile.
Shaheed Mostafa lived with his family in Najaf, Iraq, from October 1965. Shaheed Mostafa and his brother Ahmad became part of Khomeini's underground movement, along with Shaheed Mohammad Beheshti and Shaheed Morteza Motahhari.
The circumstances around Shaheed Mostafa Khomeini's death were suspicious, the official story of his death was a heart attack whilst being detained by Shah's secret police (SAVAK) however his father Imam Khomeini had maintained he was martyred and this is the view of many in Iran
His martyrdom coincided with the growing discontent with the Shah regime which finally ended with the Iranian Revolution just over a year later. It is almost certainly clear that the SAVAK were responsible for his death, He was buried in Najaf within the shrine of Imam Ali (a.s).
His resting place within the shrine of Imam Ali (a.s), may Allah bless Shaheed Mostafa and all the Martyrs, ameen 🤲.
