Abstract

As one of the most important sources of soft power of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the university plays a very important role in training committed and expert human resources and producers of science needed by the society. Imam Khamenei has raised the need to pay attention to the Islamic University for the correct transformation of the university and has made demands on the senior managers of the country's higher education and the scientific community in this regard. In the current research, an attempt has been made to answer this question, what are the indicators of soft power of the Islamic University with emphasis on the thought of Imam Khamenei? The current research is an e-applied development and documentary methods and qualitative content analysis have been used as necessary. The findings of this research indicate that the soft power indicators of the Islamic University with emphasis on the thought of Imam Khamenei include the spirit of scientific self-belief and hope for the future, anti-enemy, spiritualism, provincialism and political independence in such a way as to create cultural transformation. At the level of higher education, they will have an impact on the social and political developments of the country.
