Islamic Iran is geopolitically and economically important in the Middle East region, and Western countries, especially the United States, have been forced not to turn away from any conspiracy to protect their interests in the Middle East region. Based on this, they tried to achieve their goals by imposing economic pressures and sanctions in weakening the position of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the world and even inside the country. Therefore, according to the importance of the issue, the supreme leader of the revolution raised economic issues in the slogan of the year in order to raise awareness among experts and ordinary people, and in particular, he placed economic defense at the top of the agenda of the officials of the system. The purpose of this article is to examine the soft power dimensions of economic defense from the perspective of Islam and in the defense thought of Imam Khamenei.
