The Political slogans of the Islamic Republic of Iran is a list of government and anti-government slogans from the beginning of the Iranian Islamic repulic revolution until now. Shortly after the Iranian Islamic republic revolution of 1979 (the revolution victory day was on February 11, 1979) a constitutional referendum held on 2 and 3 December 1979 (less than two months had passed since the revolution) in Iran. The referendum finished while 99.5% of the votes were "Yes to Islamic Republic", so Iran becames Islamic Republic of Iran.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

The number of Iranians eligible to vote on March 30 and 31, 1979, was exactly "22,800,000" people, and the people participated in the referendum were "20,288,021", so 20,147,055 people voted "yes" and only 140,966 voted "no".[8][9][10][11]

Since the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979, various groups and factions, both pro and anti with the revolution, have formed and disintegrated. Each period and each group has had its own slogans. The following are some of the slogans.[12][13][14]

Slogans of the Islamic Republic and the revolutionaries

[edit]

These are the usual slogans of supporters of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, which are frequently used in religious and political ceremonies inside Iran, as well as through the national media of Iran.[15][16][17][18]

Demonstrations of people in favor of the Islamic Republic, Isfahan, Iran, January 2018.

Fight, fight until victory

[edit]

"Fight, fight until victory" was a common[20] government political[21] slogan among some political-religious parties and groups in Iran after the victory of the Iranian Revolution and also during the Iran-Iraq war.[22]

As an example, this slogan was considered and used in the Iran-Iraq war and in the Karbala-4 operation.[23]

The road of Jerusalem passes through Karbala

[edit]

"The road of Jerusalem passes through Karbala" was a common political slogan among some political-religious parties and groups in Iran since the victory of the Iranian Revolution.[24]

This slogan was first popularized by Ruhollah Khomeini and his supporters during the Iran-Iraq war and in the years after that,[25] to the extent that it largely determined Iran's foreign policy.[26]

In the debate of presidential election between Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2009, this slogan was also mentioned as one of Ruhollah Khomeini's guidelines.[27]

The "thought"[28] behind this slogan is considered by some to be the continuation of the policy of "exporting" the Iranian revolution by Khomeini to other countries in the region.[29]

Slogans against the Islamic Republic

[edit]
People's demonstrations against the Islamic Republic of Iran policies, Amsterdam, October 2022.

These are the slogans that are expressed by the Iranians who oppose the Islamic Republic in Iran, which are broadcast in the Persian language foreign media too.[30][31]
