It has been reported that once a newspaper under the Shah regime published an article against Imam and revolutionaries.
Then the regime which feared of public reaction sent its intellegence chief to Imam and requested him to silent over the issue.
The Shah spy chief came to Imam and said that the king had great respect for you due to your relgious authority and desperetely attempted to convice Imam from taking any step against the regime.
At this, Imam warned the Shah authorities of great consequences against any responsible moves.
It is worth-noting that struggle under Imam finaly led to collapse of the western-backed Shah regime across Iran in 1979.
