Abstract

Undoubtedly, many factors were involved in the victory of the Iranian Islamic Revolution in 1979, the most important of which was the personality and leadership of Imam Khomeini, and even though he was in exile, Imam Khomeini kept in touch with the people, movements, and revolutionary figures through messages, interviews, conversations, and correspondence. They maintained that on this basis, the messages of Imam Khomeini (PBUH), which are published in 21 volumes in a collection titled Imam's Sahifah, constitute an important part of the content of this collection. In fact, the main intellectual and political content and foundations of the Imam (RA) that were influential during the victory of the Islamic Revolution were through interviews and messages in general with foreign media and news agencies that reached the ears of the truth-seeking people of Iran and the rest of the world. A major part of foreign developments and domestic political issues was also in the form of a message from the Imam (RA) as a guide for determining the policies, strategies and strategies of the revolutionaries.
