The honorable and proud authority of the Islamic Revolution of Iran in the region and the world is rooted in the theories of Imam Khomeini's resistance. This issue has been referred to as the "Imam Khomeini's doctrine of resistance" in international political literature. A theory that has vigorously targeted the arteries of Western and American domination. This theory is not based on excitement and fleeting emotions, but has logical, intellectual, scientific, and religious support. In this paper, which is carried out by descriptive-analytical and documentary method, the Qur'anic explanation of Imam Khomeini's doctrine of resistance is examined and analyzed according to the statements of the Supreme Leader. Based on the findings of this study, according to the verses of the Holy Quran, resistance is the natural reaction of every free nation to oppression, which causes the enemy to retreat. Resistance is possible even against the great powers, which is less costly than surrender. In addition, the final victory of the resistance is certain, provided that its conditions are met.
