Unlike most writing on Arab-Iran relations, which looks at specific
episodes and specific countries, this book, taking a long term
view, assesses the overall dynamics of the relationship, discussing
in particular how far religion or politics drives the relationship.
It argues that although Iran asserts that religion is a key factor
underpinning a coherent approach to international relations, in
fact what turns out to be the key factor is the politics of
particular circumstances and Iran’s specific interests. The book
considers Iran’s differing reactions to the Arab uprisings of
2011 onwards, showing that while Iran supported the uprisings in
some countries it sided with repressive governments in other
countries. The book also examines Iran’s reaction to its own
outbreak of popular discontent in 2009 which was controlled by what
has been considered as severe repression and explores how Iran is
viewed by ordinary people in different Arab countries.
