Abstract
Explanation and analysis of Ayatollah Khamenei's letters to European and American youth.

Abstract.

Objective: The main objective of the present research is to find out what was the intention and purpose of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution in writing a letter to Western youth?

Research Methodology: In this research, and in line with the answer to the main question posed, the authors seek to use the explanatory-exploratory method to understand the purpose and motivation of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution and her reasons for writing a letter to the general youth of Western and North America at this critical time.

Findings: The findings of the research show that factors such as the widespread blackening of Islam by Western enemies and leaders, the presentation of a frightening image of Islam as equivalent to terrorism, and the suppression of American university students who have risen up in support of the people of Gaza; prompted the Leader of the Islamic Revolution to convey his message in the form of letters to the general public of Western youth. As a result of the research, it became clear that the Leader of the Revolution, while trying to defend the sanctity of Islam and present a different narrative of Islam compared to the Western narrative, explains the type of politics of the dominators and considers the solution to be reforming the policies of Western countries towards global problems. Finally, while supporting the student uprising, with due regard to the flexibility and free-thinking and truth-seeking spirit of Western youth, refers them to understanding the main sources of Islam and the truths of Islam
