On 28 June 1981 (7 Tir 1360 in the Iranian calendar; Persian: هفت تیر, romanized: Haft-e Tir), a powerful bomb went off at the headquarters of the Islamic Republican Party (IRP) in Tehran, while a meeting of party leaders was in progress. Seventy-four leading officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran were killed, including Chief Justice Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti, who was the second most powerful figure in the Iranian Revolution (after Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini).
The Iranian government first blamed SAVAK and the Iraqi regime. Two days later, on 30 June, the People's Mujahedin of Iran was accused by Khomeini of being behind the attack. The Iranian government also put blame on the United States for the bombing.
A few years afterward, a tribunal in Kermanshah sentenced four alleged "Iraqi agents" to death for their supposed role in the incident. Separately, a Tehran tribunal executed Mehdi Tafari on the same charges. By 1985, however, the head of military intelligence publicly claimed that the operation had in fact been carried out by royalist army officers.
