Do you have a source showing that he was imprisoned in Iraq? Wikipedia suggests he was there freely https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruhollah_Khomeini%27s_life_in

He was imprisoned in Iran, then went to Turkey and from there to Iraq iirc, but it is long ago, so I suspect the GP meant after he was arrested by the Shah.

  OP very specifically said that he was imprisoned by Saddam Hussein and that the US pulled strings to get him freed.
