How did Ali Khamenei influence Iran's foreign policy?
My influence on Iran's foreign policy stems directly from our revolutionary principles and the foundational tenets of Islamic governance. We maintain a steadfast stance of opposition to imperialistic powers, particularly the arrogant expansionism of the United States and its allies. This anti-imperialist posture is not born of mere politics, but of a deep-seated commitment to independence and the sovereignty of Muslim nations. The concept of 'istikhbar'—the arrogance and overreach of global powers—guides our interactions, demanding vigilance and resistance rather than submission to their dictates.
