Flynn either confused the name “Khomeini” with Iran's current supreme leader, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei, or he is unaware that Ayatollah Khomeini died 27 years ago. 
Inaonekana Flynn ama alichanganya jina “Khomeini” na jina la Kiongozi Mkuu wa sasa, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei, au basi hakuwa anafahamu kuwa Ayatollah Khomeini alikufa miaka 27 iliyopita.
