The head of the Political and Ideological Office of Iran’s Supreme Leader claims that the Quran has some predictions about the occurrence of the 1979 Revolution in Iran.
Ali Saeedi Shahroudi also added that the Prophet of Islam and the 7th Shia Imam also predicted Iran’s revolution and the leadership of Ruhollah Khomeini.
“Islamic revolution took place while the world was under the domination of the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, and the countries of the world were either part of the Western bloc, or part of the Eastern camp and supported by the Soviet Union,” he added.
However, he said, the Islamic Revolution came took place with the slogan of "Neither East nor West" and relying "purely Islam."
Most of the world Muslims are Sunnis and they do not follow Iranian religious leaders or doctrine.
‘Neither East nor West’ was the foreign policy approach promulgated by the founder of the Islamic Republic Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and was Iran's official foreign policy motto until ‘Looking East’ came about.
The policy of relying on Asia or the East, particularly China and Russia, was promulgated by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in 2018, with the catchphrase, “Looking East”.
"We should look East, not West. Pinning our hope on the West or Europe would belittle us as we will have to beg them for favors and they will do nothing," Khamenei said in a speech in October 2018.
