Based on an international analysis containing views of several international scholars the Islamic Revolution signaled an indisputable change in the region and around the globe in 1979 at a very sensitive juncture of the history.
The ouster of Iran's king, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, and controlling the country by Imam Khomeini, an indisputable leader of the Muslim world, were among the major achievements of the revolution.
The Islamic Revolution strengthened the Islamic movements and oppressed nations and challenged the dominance of so-called superpowers which had divided the world into two eastern and western blocs.
Aside from relieving the country of the monarchy, Iran's revolution also triggered several changes in the strategically-important region of the Middle East and some other parts of the world.
Meanwhile, all conspiracies to weaken the revolution couldn’t bear any good fruit. For an instance, Saddam's attack on Iran not only rallied the population around Imam Khomeini but also rendered a humiliated defeat to colonial powers and changed balance of power in the region.
Several pundits say the impact of the Islamic Revolution and its dynamic teachings were enormous and inspired revolutions as well as Muslim and free-minded generations in later decades.
Imam Khomeini revived the humane and moral values and challenged all material systems that ignore the mankind spiritual perspectives.
