Why it matters:
Ghalibaf’s remarks emphasize that the Islamic Revolution has not only endured external pressure, but has also reshaped global power dynamics in favor of resistance and Islamic self-determination.
What he’s saying:
Ghalibaf said Imam Khomeini (RA) struck a historic blow to both bipolar and unipolar systems of domination through the Islamic Revolution.
He argued that the impact of that “strategic shock” has now reached a point where global powers openly acknowledge an approaching transformation in the world order.
According to Ghalibaf, this shift is unfolding with Islam positioned as a decisive force, thanks to the revolutionary “architecture” laid by Imam Khomeini and advanced by Ayatollah Khamenei.
“The fact that this revolution still stands on its original slogans in the face of the world’s arrogant powers is the result of the decisive action shown by Imam Khomeini.”
“That shock to the system of domination has now progressed so far that many admit we are on the threshold of a change in the geometry of the world.”
“This time, by the blessing of Imam’s vision and the design of the wise Leader of the Revolution, Islam stands in a position of power and determination.”
