Ruhollah Khomeini's life in exile
Ruhollah Khomeini was in exile in Turkey, Iraq and France from 1964 to 1979. Mohammad Reza Pahlavi had arrested him twice for dissent from his "White Revolution" announced in 1963. Khomeini was invited back to Iran by the government, and returned to Tehran from exile in 1979. On 4 November 1964, Khomeini was secretly taken to Ankara and then to Bursa, Turkey. On 5 September 1965, he moved to Najaf, Iraq and stayed there until Saddam Hussein deported him in 1978. Finally, he was exiled by the pressure of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi to Neauphle-le-Château, Paris on 6 October 1978.
