Khomeini’s ability to convey power and firmness in his speeches is emphasized by Beshen. She notes that despite not actually believing it himself, Khomeini is able to effectively communicate a sense of stability and control to his audience through deliberate tactics such as always sitting when speaking and remaining stable in his body movements. This control over his emotions allows him to effectively convey any message he wants, even if it lacks credibility.
Beshen observes that Khomeini’s body language serves as a motif of intimidation, with his calm and monotone speech style creating an aura of aggression. Despite the lack of credibility in his statements, his stable body movements and gestures help to turn the audience in his favor. Additionally, Khomeini’s use of his left hand, rather than his right hand that was injured in an assassination attempt, further reinforces his control over his body language and emotions.
While some may question Khomeini’s sanity, Beshen argues that he is not a psychopath. Although he exhibits extreme political and religious expressions, there are no clear signs of mental illness in his personality. However, the combination of anger and a slight smile in his expressions may indicate a certain level of madness. Ultimately, Khomeini’s ability to maintain control over his body language and emotions allows him to effectively communicate his messages, regardless of their credibility.
