Abstract

The formation of the 1979 revolution in Iran has unique features, such as being Islamic and based on the Shiite religion. The existence of the element of religion as the main element of the Islamic Revolution has distinguished this revolution from other revolutions. After that, in many Islamic countries, the influence of the successes of the Islamic Revolution and the ideology of Imam Khomeini (ra), with its successful insistence on "People's Islam", was strongly felt. Imam Khomeini's views and thoughts have played a significant role in exporting the values ​​of the Islamic Revolution beyond the borders of Iran. The present article examines the impact of the Islamic Revolution of Iran on Islamic movements and explores the impact of Imam Khomeini's ideas on Iraq. At the same time, the fear of Westerners returning to radical Islam and its teachings and influencing Islamic movements makes it more important to pay attention to the Islamic Revolution of Iran.
