The author and compiler of the "Explication of the Name" on the life and revolutionary activities of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the leader is the best critic of his biography.
Addressing a gathering of students at Isfahan University, Hedayatollah Behboudi said writing about the Supreme Leader from any angle is difficult because of the complexity of his personality.
The work entails the leader's biography from his birth until the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979 and was debuted in 20012. The book's second edition took some time for publication because the supreme leader corrected the order of a number of the events chronicles in the book. The work's reprint was released in July 2014.
Behboudi added that reading of the book gives readers a basic understanding about the leader's life which was never considered before.
He said most of the people view the leader as religious figure while other aspects of his disposition have been unfolded in the book.
The book has referred to documents from the royal army of Iran prior to the revolution, the SAVAK and oral history of the leader about his life and activities.
BBC Documentary on Supreme Leader Fraught with Lies
A senior Iranian political analyst has lambasted a BBC documentary on the life of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei as being fraught with lies, saying the film is primarily based on accounts made by figures whose dishonesty has long been proven.
Mohsen Nasri, who is also a member of the scientific board of the Isfahan University, said the BBC is reputed to mingle truth with lies in its programs and has done the same in the documentary, titled as "Ruling Iran-The Life of Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei".
Addressing a gathering of students held in assessment of a book entitled as "Explication of the Name" on the life of the Supreme Leader after the Islamic Revolution, Nasri said BBC is infamous for projecting lasting enmity against the Islamic Iran and other nations and is abhorred even by the British nation who have repeatedly protested its policies.
The documentary shows interviews with figures like Mahmoud Moradkhani, Supreme Leader's nephew, Bani Sadr, Iran's first president after the 1979 revolution, and others, and introduces them as close contacts to the Leader, while all of the figures have been proven notorious and adverse to the Islamic Revolution, argued Nasri.
