It derives itself from Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, leader of Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution. It is culturally center-right to far-right and economically center-left or third positionist.

History

Pre-Revolution

Ruhollah Khomeini was a prominent Shia Muslim religious leader and scholar in Iran. Born on September 24, 1902, in Khomeyn, Iran. Khomeini received a traditional Islamic education and studied under renowned religious scholars of his time.

In 1963, Khomeini delivered a series of fiery sermons denouncing the Shah and his regime. The regime responded by imprisoning Khomeini, which led to widespread protests and demonstrations in support of his release. Khomeini's imprisonment and subsequent exile to Iraq and later France further elevated his status as a symbol of resistance against the Shah's rule.

The Islamic Revolution, also known as the Iranian Revolution, was a major socio-political upheaval that took place in Iran from 1978 to 1979. The revolution resulted in the overthrow of the ruling monarchy and the establishment of an Islamic republic in Iran.

Led by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, an influential religious leader and vocal critic of the Shah's regime, the revolution was fueled by a combination of social, economic, and political factors. Widespread discontent with the autocratic rule of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, characterized by political repression, economic inequality, and perceived Western influence, served as the catalyst for mass protests and demonstrations. The revolution brought together various factions, including secular nationalists, leftists, intellectuals, and religious groups, who united against the monarchy. It resulted in a consolidation of power especially under the religious camp, with Khomeini becoming the Supreme Leader of Iran.

Presidency of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Mohammad Khatami (1997-2005)

Mohammad Khatami served as the President of Iran from 1997 to 2005. His presidency marked a period of relative political and social reform in Iran, often referred to as the "Reformist Era". Khatami aimed to promote a more open and tolerant society while seeking political and cultural reforms within the framework of the Islamic Republic.

His emphasis on dialogue, civil liberties, and cultural opening had a significant impact on Iranian society, although his reformist agenda faced challenges and limitations.

Presidency of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (2005-2013)

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was the President of Iran from 2005 to 2013. During his presidency, he pursued a number of controversial policies that had significant implications for both domestic and foreign affairs.

One of the most controversial policies pursued by Ahmadinejad was the expansion of Iran's nuclear program. Despite concerns from the international community about the potential for Iran to develop nuclear weapons, Ahmadinejad's government continued to pursue the enrichment of uranium and other activities related to the nuclear program. This led to increased tensions with the United States and other countries, and ultimately to the implementation of economic sanctions against Iran.

Presidency of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Hassan Rouhani (2013-2021)

Hassan Rouhani served as the President of Iran from 2013 to 2021. He is known for his more moderate stance on domestic and foreign policy issues, and worked during his presidency to improve relations with other countries and to address economic challenges facing Iran.

Rouhani's presidency was marked by efforts to improve relations with the international community and to address the economic challenges facing Iran. One of the key achievements of his presidency was the negotiation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal, which was signed in 2015. The JCPOA was a major international agreement that lifted economic sanctions on Iran in exchange for limits on its nuclear program, and it was seen as a significant diplomatic accomplishment for Rouhani's administration.

Despite these efforts, Rouhani's presidency was also marked by challenges and controversies. He faced criticism from hardliners within Iran who viewed his policies as too conciliatory towards the West, and he faced resistance from certain factions within the government that have opposed his efforts to reform certain aspects of Iranian society.

Overall, the presidency of Hassan Rouhani was marked by a more moderate approach to domestic and foreign policy, and by efforts to address the economic challenges facing Iran. His presidency has also been shaped by the ideological legacy of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, which has had a significant influence on the political landscape of Iran.

He also has a background in the judiciary and has been involved in the prosecution of political dissidents and human rights activists in Iran.

Beliefs

Khomeinism is a radical Shi’a Islamist ideology that fuses religion and governance, utilizing the principle of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Velayat-e Faqih (Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist) to endow a learned Islamic jurist with the role of supreme leader who holds final religious & political authority over all affairs of state. Under Iran’s revolutionary system, Velayat-e Faqih is invoked to demand loyalty and to justify the authoritarian role of the Supreme Leader based on divine right. This was an uncompromising stance. There is evidence to suggest Khomeini’s revolutionaries murdered the competition in the lead-up to the Islamic Revolution, specifically Imam Musa al-Sadr, who advocated for a more traditional clerical role. Despite those socially far-right beliefs, it is economically center-left or Third Positionist, though its economic views are mostly sidelined compared to its governmental or social views.

Personality

Khomeinism is usually portrayed as a fundamentalist, modern Shia Muslim. He enforces ideas of women wearing veils, anti- Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination LGBT, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination anti-Americanism (The Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination United States is still frequently referred to as the "Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Great Satan"), & other Shia Islamic characteristics. He's difficult to be friends with but, he'll work with shia moderates (& occasionally even non-Muslims) for strategic purposes (especially if it's in opposition to America). Khomeinism has an extreme commitment to erasing the entity of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Israel. Khomeinism believes that the only way to free Palestine is through resistance and Intifada towards establishing a Shia republic in Palestine.
