The Strategic Framework of the Islamic Revolution in the Statements of the Supreme Leaders and the Iranian Constitution

The Islamic Revolution of Iran stands as one of the most significant socio-political events of the last century. Like all major revolutions, it possesses a strategic model essential for sustaining its trajectory, achieving its multifaceted ideals, and serving as a paradigm for other nations. By establishing a framework underpinned by the principles of Islamic jurisprudence (Velayat-e Faqih) and the Constitution, the revolution aimed to extend spiritual blessings globally through the Iranian nation. To ensure the revolution’s evolutionary progress and to effectively address emerging challenges, a strategic model must be developed based on an analysis of the nation's experiences over the years. This study seeks to propose such a model, drawing from the discourse of the Imams and the Constitution. The research is developmental in purpose and employs a descriptive-analytical, exploratory approach. The primary sources include the guidance and directives of Imam Khomeini (May God Bless him), Imam Khamenei (May God Protect him), and the Constitution of the Islamic Republic. Using qualitative methods and MAXQDA software, the findings are categorized into three dimensions: fundamental values, objectives, and policies of the Islamic Revolution. The study also offers actionable recommendations for sustaining the revolution's core ideals and addressing its future challenges effectively.
