On “People’s Role in the Realization of the Islamic Republic”

In his televised speech on the occasion of the 32nd demise anniversary of Imam Khomeini, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution described the Islamic Republic as the most important achievement of Imam Khomeini, saying: “The magnificent and pride-generating key to the survival of this system could be summed up in two words: “Republic” and “Islamic”. The harmony between these two is the key to the survival. And the entity that has been formed out of these two elements is no doubt expected to survive and persist. To clarify this aspect of the Leader’s speech, Khamenei.ir has conducted an interview with Dr. Hamid Parsania, Associate Professor at the Department of Social Studies of Tehran University.

The place of “humanitarian law” in Imam Khomeini’s worldview

From the beginning of human life, conflicts and wars have been an inseparable part of human life and events such as looting, terrible massacres, and holding women and children captive in different periods indicate that violation of others’ rights and lack of commitment to humanitarian principles have been a recurrent theme in history. Unfortunately, with the development of science and technology and military equipment, the oppressive and bullying humans had no limitations in using it because the main goal was to completely destroy the enemy at whatever cost. Humanitarian law paved the way to develop some principles in an attempt to reduce savagery and cruelty in battles to not only support the victims of these armed conflicts, but to reduce the scope and consequences of the hostilities and wars of the parties to the conflict. The present Op-Ed, published by Khamenei.ir, tries to discuss and locate the principles of humanitarian law, both in theory and practice, in Imam Khomeini’s character and thought. This is done with special attention to Imam Khomeini’s leadership during the Iraqi 8-year imposed war against Iran.

Modern Slavery speeding up U.S.'s trip down the trail of decline

In his November 3rd speech, Ayatollah Khamenei once again stressed that the decline and collapse of the US’s established order is inevitable and this is a topic that analysts and authors inside the United States admit to. One of the many indicators of the US decline and collapse is the significant increase of U.S. regime’s racist behavior towards its own people as well as other nations. This is irrespective of which administration takes the Oval Office; rather this is a structural approach taken by both Democratic and Republican governments. This article reviews abusing the people of color and exploiting them as cheap labor force as well as the expansion of modern slavery in the United States.
