About the Islamic Revolution
The Iranian Islamic Revolution fundamentally transformed global political, cultural, and economic frameworks, establishing a governance model rooted in religious leadership.
It illustrated the interplay between religion and governance during a stark East-West division. Imam Khomeini's leadership was crucial to its success, distinguishing it from other revolutions that faltered due to weak guidance, often leading to authoritarian regimes.
The main challenge for such transformations is preserving the revolution's original objectives and direction to avoid deviating from its foundational principles.
