Abstract

One of the crucial issues in the Islamic Revolution of Iran is its impact on Islamic countries and movements. One of the countries that the Islamic Revolution has dramatically influenced is Lebanon. The Lebanese Hezbollah movement is one of the most successful Islamic movements. Today, Hezbollah in Lebanon plays a decisive role in the fate of that country, but also regional and global equations. The present study aimed to study the effects and thoughts of the cultural ideas of the Islamic Revolution of Iran and the teachings of Imam Khomeini on the Lebanese Hezbollah movement. The article's central question is, 'what is the cultural impact of the Islamic Revolution of Iran and the teachings of Imam Khomeini on Hezbollah in Lebanon?' The research hypothesis is that with the victory and expansion of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, Muslims, especially Lebanese Shias and the Hezbollah movement, were more influenced by the Islamic Revolution of Iran than other groups. The results indicated that with the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, Islamic movements, based on the teachings of Imam Khomeini, took steps towards identity and independence. Political Islam came to the text from the margins. Iranian Islamic ideas inspired Islamic movements. The result is that among the Lebanese Shias, the Hezbollah movement was more influenced by the Islamic Revolution of Iran than any other group. They see Iran as a supporter and model of the rescue struggle.
