Eight generals executed by new Islamic regime in Iran
Ayatollah Khomeini’s regime executed four more Shah era generals at 2 am, raising total executions to eight as mobs fatally wounded three others. The purge targets include SAVAK chief Nematullah Nassiri, with further condemnations and ongoing roundup. Iran aims to extradite the shah, who faces possible refuge only in South Africa or Israel, amid a broader break with Western nations.
