Imam Khomeini and the Discourse of Islamic Revolution

Iran in the past has experienced different leaders including nationalists, Islamist modernists, and modernist elites. Imam Khomeini, as a revivalist of Iranian Islamic civilization, the founder and architect of the Islamic Revolution and the leader of a cultural revolution, enjoys a special position among the leaders of Iran. The beginning of the Islamic movement in Iran in 1963 and the Imam’s sagacious leadership laid the foundations of a new discourse in the national and intentional political-religious studies. The present paper is an attempt to study the new discourse titled the discourse of the Islamic Revolution.
