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]
