What if the Shah had Ayatollah Khomeini assassinated in the mid 1960s?

What do y'all think would have happened if the Shah would have had Ayatollah Khomeini assassinated sometime between 1964 and 1966? I think the Shah would have stayed on the Throne until he died in 1979 and he would have been succeeded by his son Reza Pahlavi. The Muslim Extremist movement that took hold in Iran under the Ayatollah Khomeini would never have gotten going the way it did if he would have been assassinated in the mid 1960s.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

The Iranian Revolution began as an ideologically heterogeneous uprising. Khomeini wasn't the sole or even dominant driving force from the beginning.
