There was no one ruler of the Iranian Revolution but there were several major members of the revolution. The main was was the cleric Ayatollah Khomeni.

The goal of the revolution was to remove the corrupt regime of Shah Pahlavi from power, and to create a new and more virtuous government that would govern according to the principles of Islam.
(1978-1979) a revolution against the shah of Iran led by the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, which resulted in Iran becoming an Islamic Republic with Khomeini as its leader, the revolution that transformed Iran from a monarchy under Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi to an Islamic republic under Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Mullahs (religious leaders) overthrow the US backed Shah and establish a theocracy (religious government) that hated the US, Many Iranians opposed Reza Shah Pahlavi, there was also a hatred of Westernization. There was a revival in Islam, and Ayatollah Khomeini soon emerged as the religious opposition to the Shah. He organized demonstrations and riots, and the Shah eventually left. Khomeini then seized power in Iran.
lately some agency new such as BBC Persian wanted to distribute a distorted text to Ayatollah Khomeini based on a secret message between him and carter. but according to confident sources the history is not such a way that BBC agency news narrated it. in other word I think that not only, as BBC claimed, Imam Khomeini in response to Carter , alert him on the right of Iranian people in respect to their destiny but also Imam Khomeini try to show Carter, if he threat Iran again this action could followed by serous response by Iranian people.
