The Revolution

Three decades after its 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran’s foreignpolicy remains committed to “exporting the revolution” (sodoureenqelab). Through this policy, the Islamic Republic of Iran wantsto make the world safe for not only Islam and Muslims, but for alloppressed people around the world. The idea is based on the ideologyof Imam Khomeini, who presented it in a general way in hisimportant work on jurisprudence. To him, the role of Imam is topreserve the Islamic ummah’s unity, liberate the Islamic homelandfrom the seizure and influence of the colonizers and their puppetgovernments, and initiate the just Islamic government.In this article, I explore the politics, ends, and means of exportingthe revolution in the overall context of Iran’s foreign policyas well as show how the divinely inspired nature of the revolutionwas to bring Islamic justice to humanity and the variouspeaceful and coercive means it adopted to provide happiness,well-being, and salvation to all nations. To Imam Khomeini andhis followers, the final end of “great Islamic community” couldnot be achieved in the current arrogant international society withouthelping the disintegrated Muslim nations to unite with eachother and using adequate force.

The Revolution

The Islamic Revolution of Iran took place in 1789. Undoubtedly, this revolution had repercussions on its peripheral and semi-peripheral countries, and one of the semi-peripheral countries of Iran that were affected by the revolution was Yemen. Yemen changed with the beginning of the Arab Spring and protest movements were formed in it, the content of which was very close to the foundations of the Islamic Revolution of Iran. These protests led to the revolution and eventually to the victory of the Houthi movement in Yemen and the Ansar Allah movement. But what are the consequences of this event in Yemen in Yemen and the Islamic Republic of Iran? The purpose of this study is to check the results of the export of the Iranian revolution in Yemen. The research findings show that the Islamic Revolution of Iran was exported to Yemen and a very close relationship was established between Yemen and the Islamic Republic. The Yemeni revolution has had very positive results for the regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran, like the addition of Yemen to the axis of resistance, resistance to Saudi Islam, etc., but to the results that happened to Yemen itself, we can become independent. Yemen touched on freedom of action in deciding and choosing its destiny. Yemen is embroiled in a bloody war that is still going on, and the living and economic situation of the people in Yemen is worse than before. The method of the present study is qualitative and based on the analytical description.

The Revolution

This chapter explores the enduring symbiosis between the village motif, social justice, and populist politics in Iran during the first three decades after the revolution. At first, it briefly highlights the evolution of the allegorical village in classical and contemporary Persian poetry. The focus will later be shifted towards the representation of the village in revolutionary poetry. We will see that it has remained a recurring motif in Persian poetry of the post-revolutionary period, employed by a variety of writers and state institutions for a range of means. As a symbol, it has been a conduit into which any ideology can be poured; the village allegory can be manipulated to both condemn and support the official politics of the state. The chapter examines the key socio-political influences behind the evolution of rural themes, the work of official poets, and the impact of the village on the cultural doctrine of the Islamic Republic.

The Revolution

ABSTRACTThe sudden shift from power to solidarity in Iran in the face of the sociopolitical upheaval in the country has yielded some interesting changes in the forms of address in Persian. In general, since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, forms of address in Persian have undergone a sociolinguistic simplification. In post-revolutionary Iran plain speech and forms of address marking solidarity have gained popularity, whereas asymmetrical forms reflecting the complex social class structure of pre-revolutionary Iran have gradually declined. This article gives a sociolinguistic account of the forms of address in present-day Iranian Persian and documents the impact of the revolution on this aspect of the Persian language.
