Hojjatoleslam Hassan Khomeini, the grandson of the
late Founder of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Ruhollah
Khomeini, is to pay an official visit to the Latin American country
of Cuba.
The Hojjatoleslam, currently in Madrid, Spain for a two-day visit,
will leave for Cuba today.
Hojjatoleslam Khomeini is visiting the country upon the invitation
of Cuban Leader Fidel Castro.
Tehran-Havana ties are currently at a very good level. Castro's
visit to Iran in May improved relations between the two
independent countries.
By such a visit, it seems that it is time for appearance of another
Khomeini to follow the path of late Iranian leader.
Castro and Imam Khomeini are considered to be the main
supporters of freedom and independence and main opponents
of U.S. hegemony in the 20th century.
During his visit to Iran, Castro visited Imam Khomeini's house
and mausoleum and praised the late Imam's ideals and beliefs
as well as his simple life.
Castro called the late Imam "a unique powerful leader" who
should be modeled by the countries and nations who don't want
to be under domination of other powers.
"It is overwhelming to have a leader with such a simple life and
such a power to stand against world dominant powers," Castro
told Hassan Khomeini while visiting Islamic Republic recently.
