Imam's Line
Imam's Line (Persian: خط امام) is a term equivalent to the party line approved by the "Imam"—Ayatollah Khomeini in the Iranian revolutionary terminology.[1]
During early years of the revolution, various groups claimed to follow the line such as Islamist Combatant Clergy Association, Movement of Militant Muslims and Mojahedin of the Islamic Revolution Organization,[2] as well as the communist Tudeh Party of Iran.[3]
