Alireza Abbasi, an influential figure and mastermind of world sports science, said: We are celebrating the anniversary of one of the most influential leaders in the history of the second half of this century. Imam Khomeini is the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, who established a new model of governance in the world. A legacy that, despite all the pressures, wars, and sanctions, is stronger than ever after more than four decades.
Reasons for the permanence of Imam Khomeini’s political thought:
An effective political thought is one that, while having solid principles, also has the necessary flexibility. Imam Khomeini’s political school can be categorized into two types: reformist and revolutionary. In the early seventies, the Imam tried to help society by offering solutions for reforms. This path continued until the Imam realized that the Shah’s path would bring nothing but disappointment for him and the people. It was at that time that he decided to take the revolutionary path and change the regime. This change in discourse is the strength of the Imam’s school of thought.
The Islamic Republic is the legacy of Imam Khomeini and a testament to the unity of religion and politics. Such a government was not a copy of any other system, and for this reason it inspired revolutionary movements and uprisings in the region and other parts of the world. Imam Khomeini left us a legacy of a system that is effective and popular to this day. He is the founder of a civilization in which there is an anti-corruption framework and path that leads to human growth and development in society.
Imam Khomeini considered division to be the key to the instability of a country and constantly called on everyone to resist colonialism and domination by Western powers.
