چکیده

Quranic defensive diplomacy is a foundational topic that holds a special place in the intellectual framework of Imam Khamenei, and understanding it scientifically requires systematic research. The propositions indicate that part of the Leader’s Quranic thoughts in the realm of diplomacy pertains to the optimal utilization of opportunities and calculated, intelligent responses to threats. Despite the Leader’s particular emphasis on this issue, independent scientific work has not been found; therefore, the primary concern of this research is to fill the existing gap and understand the role of this topic in the survival and continuity of nations, governments, and organizations from the Leader’s perspective. This work is organized with a foundational approach and employs a mixed-methods methodology, including exploratory, analytical, and interpretive techniques. The research outcomes indicate that, from the Leader’s perspective in the field of diplomacy, in addition to the necessity of being equipped with advanced military technologies and material and combat capabilities, there should be a special emphasis on enhancing the spiritual empowerment of human capital. This is crucial for balanced growth, independence, dynamism, and the necessary flourishing of the nation. It was also found that strengthening the foundations of faith, establishing monotheistic principles in life, sincerity in action, protecting and safeguarding values, institutionalizing the spirit of self-belief, sacrifice, and martyrdom, taking into account expertise and commitment, maintaining a faithful presence guided by insight, special attention to divine assistance, possessing a revolutionary spirit, self-reliance, and resistance to hegemony, as well as a correct understanding of the capacities of democracy and the establishment of inward-looking policies while rejecting outward-looking politics, are among the influential and decisive elements in the realm of defensive diplomacy.
