Ayatollah Khomeini speaking about how the Islamic Republic is not like previous governments, where bombing a certain area or headquarter will suffice in overthrowing the government. He argues that every home is a guardian of Islam and the revolution and so the enemy will not achieve its objectives by simply bombing these areas. This speech was in reference to the MKO bombing the headquarters of the Iran Islamic Republic Party (IRP) while a meeting of party leaders was in progress. Seventy-three leading officials of the Islamic Republic were killed, including the chief justice and party secretary Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti, four cabinet ministers (Health, Transport, Telecommunications and Energy ministers), twenty-seven members of the Majlis(Iranian Parliament), and several other government officials.
