June 28: A bomb exploded in the IRP [Islamic Republican Party] headquarters building during a meeting of almost the entire leadership. Over seventy were killed, including Chief Justice Behesti (the second most powerful man in Iran at the time, after Khomeini), several cabinet members, and 27 members of the Majles (parliament.)
Numerous additional attacks on the leadership followed. Ali Khamenei (eventually to become Supreme Leader, Khomeini's hand-picked successor) was wounded by a bomb concealed in a tape recording on June 27. Mohammad-Ali Raja'i (Prime Minister, then briefly President) was assassinated on August 30.
