Interview 
What follows are excerpts from the only interview conducted to date with the eldest son of the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Haj Sayyid Mostafa Hosseini Khamenei (may his shadow endure). During his father’s lifetime, he refrained from appearing in the media or granting any interviews. However, the commemoration honoring the scholarly and spiritual standing of Ayatollah Sayyid Javad Khamenei (ra) provided an occasion where – after much insistence from the event’s organizers and with the intention of paying tribute to his noble grandfather, the late Ayatollah Sayyid Javad Khamenei – he agreed to this interview. Conducted in mid-2021, the interview touches upon a range of subjects, including personal memories and some of the unique and unparalleled characteristics of the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution. The material is highly insightful and worthy of attention. Therefore, on the eve of the 40th day following the martyrdom of the martyred Leader, we have selected excerpts from this interview that primarily focus on him, presenting them with minor edits and abridgments for the readers of KHAMENEI.IR. The full text of the interview will be published, God willing, by the Islamic Revolution Publications in a special commemorative volume dedicated to Ayatollah Sayyid Javad Khamenei (may God sanctify his soul), titled Sahifeh-ye Parsa’i [The Pages of Piety].
