The victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran in February 1979 and under the leadership of the late Imam Khomeini (RA), ended a long historical degradation and marked the point of departure of serious and important changes not only in Iran but also in the region and the world and it disproved the beliefs of politicians and political analysts and also disturbed the superpowers.
The 22nd of Bahman (11th February) is like “Eid-e Ghadir”; because it was on that day that the blessing of the wilayah, the completion of the divine blessing took place for the Iranian nation in its actual and practical form and was externally manifested. (24/1/1990) Whenever and wherever the victory of 22 Bahman is mentioned and remembered, the face of our martyrs and the role of martyrdom appear before the eyes. (8/2/1990)
Even though some people may argue that Imam Khomeini (RA) was similar to many other figures who emerged in this land or elsewhere in the world in the past or the contemporary history to lead a movement or revolution and ultimately passed away after playing his role, it needs to be noted that the late Imam Khomeini was not a mere political figure and was, by far, beyond being defined in this way.

The Islamic Revolution of Iran became successful on February 11, 1979, which was unprecedented of its kind. Besides creating a significant change in Iran, it was also a source of great regional and international evolution. According to Imam Khomeini (RA), the Revolution of Iran was the “Miracle of Century” and a “flare”.
The most eloquent and comprehensive word for providing an accurate introduction of the Islamic Revolution is the definition given by the late leader and founder of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini, who said: “There is no doubt that the Islamic Revolution of Iran has been different from other revolutions in terms of its emergence, struggles involved and even its terms of the motives behind this revolution and uprising. And there is no doubt that this is a gift that has been bestowed from God to this plundered and oppressed nation”. (Imam Khomeini, Sahifa Imam, 21, 402)

Iran is going to celebrate the 43rd anniversary of its 1979 Islamic Revolution on February 11, 2022. The Revolution that, under the leadership of the late Imam Khomeini, overthrew the last monarch of the Pahlavi regime and established an Islamic government in the country. This year’s anniversary assumes its importance from the fact that in spite of facing many hostilities and efforts to dismantle the revolution once and for all, the Iranian nation intends to pour on their streets and demonstrate the increasing power of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The Institute for Compilation and Publication of Imam Khomeini’s Works is a platform that was established on the direction of Imam Khomeini and under the supervision of Imam’s beloved son Seyyed Ahmad Khomeini, on September 8, 1988.
