Through this policy, the Islamic Republic of Iran wants to make the world safe for not only Islam and Muslims, but for all oppressed people around the world. The idea is based on the ideology of Imam Khomeini, who presented it in a general way in his important work on jurisprudence. To him, the role of Imam is to preserve the Islamic ummah’s unity, liberate the Islamic homeland from the seizure and influence of the colonizers and their puppet governments, and initiate the just Islamic government.

To Imam Khomeini and his followers, the final end of “great Islamic community” could not be achieved in the current arrogant international society without helping the disintegrated Muslim nations to unite with each other and using adequate force.
