The number of Iranians eligible to vote on March 30 and 31, 1979, was exactly "22,800,000" people, and the people participated in the referendum were "20,288,021", so 20,147,055 people voted "yes" and only 140,966 voted "no". [8] [9] [10] [11]

Since the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979, various groups and factions, both pro and anti with the revolution, have formed and disintegrated. Each period and each group has had its own slogans. The following are some of the slogans. [12] [13] [14]

Fight, fight until victory

"Fight, fight until victory" was a common [20] government political [21] slogan among some political-religious parties and groups in Iran after the victory of the Iranian Revolution and also during the Iran-Iraq war. [22]

As an example, this slogan was considered and used in the Iran-Iraq war and in the Karbala-4 operation. [23]

The road of Jerusalem passes through Karbala

"The road of Jerusalem passes through Karbala" was a common political slogan among some political-religious parties and groups in Iran since the victory of the Iranian Revolution. [24]

This slogan was first popularized by Ruhollah Khomeini and his supporters during the Iran-Iraq war and in the years after that, [25] to the extent that it largely determined Iran's foreign policy. [26]

In the debate of presidential election between Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2009, this slogan was also mentioned as one of Ruhollah Khomeini's guidelines. [27]

The "thought" [28] behind this slogan is considered by some to be the continuation of the policy of "exporting" the Iranian revolution by Khomeini to other countries in the region. [29]

Slogans against the Islamic Republic
