Summary
On 1 February 1979 Khomeyni returned to Iran. The revolution had proved victorious over the old order, and on 11 February the new regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran (Jomhuri-e eslāmi-e Irān) was ushered in, formally sanctioned in a national referendum held on 1 April. An assembly of “experts” was promptly elected and tasked with writing a new constitution, which was swiftly approved in a referendum in December 1979.
