But the only personality who could create a new pole of power in temporary world by fighting with two post world war two power poles was Imam Khomeini, the founder of Islamic Revolution Iran of course; formation of Islamic power pole has never meant supremacy or domination. On the contrary, Imam Khomeini inspired by great prophets way of life, continued his mission of freeing humanity from darkness, blackness and ruination to light and dignity. Current research is a mixed (qualitative-quantitative) one and aims to explain the role of Imam Khomeini in formation of Islamic power pole and to identity its strategies. The results show that strategies of Islamic power pole formation from Imam Khomeini's point of view includes belief and trust in God, unity and brotherhood, rejecting supremacy and domination, uncompromising enemy, commitment to Islamic culture, enduring hardships and problems, and forming the nucleus of resistance.
