Exporting Iran's Islamic revolution: Steering a path between Pan-Islam and nationalism
This article focuses on the question of whether Iran's foreign policy over the period 1979–94 was a pure reflection of the clerical regime's millenarian crusade and its stated doctrine of exporting the Islamic revolution worldwide.

The discussion s…
