Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini was the architect of the Iranian Revolution and the first leader (rahbar) of the Islamic republic established in 1979. He articulated the concept of velāyat-e faqīh (“guardianship of the jurist”) using a historical basis, which underlay Iran’s Islamic republic.

He spent more than 15 years in exile for his opposition to the last Shah.
