Abstract

In today's era, the issue of Palestine is considered as one of the most important political and social issues in the world. The positions and actions of different countries and their leaders regarding this crisis can have profound effects on public opinion and international interactions. Ayatollah Khamenei's letter to the students who support the Palestinian people in the universities of the United States of America, as a political and social text, contains significant points regarding speech acts and the way of expressing positions related to the Palestinian issue. This research aims to analyze the speech acts in the letter of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution to the American students with descriptive and analytical method and to answer the questions that the Leader of the Revolution used more direct and indirect speech acts and the reason for this. What are the abundances? The findings of the research show that most of the direct speech action is related to the declarative actions and most of the indirect speech action is related to the persuasive action. The results of the research show that the leader of the revolution is trying to explain and explain the existing conditions to the students according to historical statements and finally to encourage them to persevere with divine promises.
