An early aim of the Islamic revolution in Iran was to revolutionise Iran’s foreign policy that was assessed to have been too dependent on the geopolitics of Western powers. The advent of Islamic revolution was the manifestation of many statements of political position in foreign and domestic policies, including the slogan of‘being neither with the West nor with the East’, directly pointing to the desire for an independent foreign policy. But ideological extremism of some of the Islamic revolutionaries in their anti-West approaches to geopolitics of the world divided between East and West at the time, on the one hand; and the unjustifiable vindictive inclinations against what was left by the previous regime in foreign relations both in terms of policies and personnel, on the part of the so-called nationalist segment of the revolution, simultaneous with their out-of -place enchantment with the West on the other, have caused a ruinous aspect to the foreign policies of the Islamic Republic. The impact of those seeking revenge on what was done in foreign relations by the previous regime continued until very recently at least in the form of direct or indirect consultation which resulted in the destruction of firmly established geopolitical positions in the region of the Persian Gulf and in a bizarrely shaped policies concerning Iran’s position in the Caspian Sea, which was bound to collapse. The positively defined positions in the Persian Gulf, achieved as result of creating balances with Saudi Arabia vis-à-vis Iraq, and revived during the 5th and 6th governments, was replaced astonishingly during Kharrazi and Mottaki’s terms in Foreign Ministry, by a position of being influenced by the incomprehensible and unreliable politics of Qatar which does not even constitute for a real power in the region. In other dimensions of foreign policy also these contradictory pastures prevented success in most areas of foreign relations. This whole contradictory foreign policy direction requires a serious study for the purpose of reviewing the general direction and policy making, and the new Minister of Foreign Affairs broadens the scope of reviewing foreign policy affairs of the country.
