Khomeini's speeches
Ayatollah Khomeini's speeches, particularly during the Iranian Revolution of 1979, emphasized themes of justice, anti-imperialism, and Islamic governance. He criticized the Shah's regime for its corruption and Western influence, advocating for an Islamic republic based on Shia principles. Khomeini called for unity among Iranians, appealing to national identity and religious values. His rhetoric mobilized masses against oppression, promoting the idea that true sovereignty comes from the people and aligns with Islamic teachings. Khomeini’s powerful oratory played a key role in galvanizing support for the revolution, ultimately leading to the establishment of a theocratic state in Iran.
