On February 1, 1979 Ayatollah Khomeini returned to Tehran to rapturous greeting by several million Iranians. Crowds were so large he was forced to take a helicopter from the airport. Khomeini had flown back to Iran in a chartered Air France Boeing 747. Not only the undisputed leader of the revolution, he had now become what some called a “semi-divine” figure, greeted as he descended from his airplane with cries of Khomeini, O Imam, we salute you, peace be upon you.Crowds were now known to chant “Islam, Islam, Khomeini, We Will Follow You,” and even “Khomeini for King.”
