Mohammad Mousavi Khoeiniha (born 1942) is an Iranian cleric and secretary general of the reformist Association of Combatant Clerics. He was the founder of the now defunct Salam and is a member of the Expediency Discernment Council.
Khoeiniha was born in Qazvin, Iran, in 1942. However, Mohammad Sahimi gives his birth year as 1938. He moved to Qom to study religion in 1961. There he was educated by Ayatollah Seyyed Mostafa Mohaqiq Damad, and Grand Ayatollahs, including Mohammad Ali Araki and Hossein Ali Montazeri. In 1966, he moved to Najaf, Iraq, and continued his studies under the guidance of Ayatollah Khomenei. His stay in Najaf lasted brief and he returned to Iran in 1967. In 1977, he was arrested by SAVAK. Although he was sentenced to fifteen years in jail, he was freed in the fall of 1978 due to unrest in the country.
Following the 1979 revolution he became one of the aides of Ayatollah Khomenei. He was named Khomenei's representative at the Iran's Council of National Radio and TV but lost that post after hostage taking opponent Bani Sadr became president and engineered his resignation. He was the spiritual leader of the Muslim Student Followers of the Imam's Line who led the hostage taking of American embassy staff on 4 November 1979. He is reported to have held the post of deputy speaker of the Majles in the early 1980s. He was appointed by Khomenei prosecutor general of Iran, replacing Ayatollah Yousef Sanei in the post in the mid-1980s. Then Khoeiniha was made a member of the Supreme Judicial Council and also, of the Expediency Council. In 1989, he was appointed by Khomenei as his representative in the constitution assembly that was formed to review the constitution.
