Iran's foreign policy

de Anoushiravan Ehteshami, Mahjoob Zweiri

"This timely collection of papers by leading academics and prominent government officials sheds new light on the foreign policy of Iran under President Khatami and into the period of President Ahmadinejad. Iran's foreign policy during this period was based on four fundamental principles: the rejection of all forms of foreign domination; the preservation of the independence of the country and its territorial integrity; the defence of the rights of all Muslims; and the maintenance of mutually peaceful relations with all non-belligerent states. This book examines the implications of these principles, and provides analysis of Iran's diplomacy with regard to ongoing developments such the War on Terror, the continuing conflict in Iraq, American-Iranian relations, British-Iranian Relations, European-Iranian Relations and Arab-Iranian Relations."--Book cover.
