In contemporary history of Iran two kinds of struggle have been commonplace; political-parliamentary struggle and armed struggle. However, both of them have been fruitless for a couple of reasons. Having created a novel method for struggle in 70s, Imam Khomeini (PBUH) could put an end to the kingdom of arrogant shahs. Therefore the current study tries to study Imam Khomeini's (PBUH) method for struggle with Pahlavid arrogant dynasty in the framework of soft power adopting religious teachings. In line with this, first cultural-religious elements creating soft power will be discussed and then having studied Imam Khomeini's (PBUH) measures to recreate soft power adopting religious-confessional paradigms, we will cover Imam Khomeini's (PBUH) strategies for struggle in his campaign against Pahlavi regime.
