Russo–Iranian Relations in the Post-Soviet Era
The West has shunned the Islamic Republic of Iran for most of the past 38 years. To neutralise the very negative impact that this situation has had on the country’s economy and political isolation, Iran has turned to the East, in particular to China and Russia, a change in orientation despite Iran’s traditional preference for the West. Since the Soviet Union’s demise, Iran and Russia have steadily been expanding co-operation in trade, regional se…
The Iran nuclear deal
Iran’s nuclear programme had for more than a decade become a controversial issue between Iran and the West; it had even threatened to develop into a military confrontation between Teheran and its arch adversary, Washington. The issue was finally resolved in an agreement, after more than a year of negotiations, between the two sides in Geneva in July 2015. This was hailed as a ‘breakthrough’ and a ‘win-win’ for both parties. It is argued here that…
Iran's nuclear programme and the west
Judged by the media reports and statements by US officials in recent months, the USA is seriously considering, or at least thinking about, taking military action against Iran, if it refuses to forgo its legal right to enrich uranium for its nuclear energy programme, which Washington claims is a cover for making nuclear weapons. Iran denies the allegation. The effects of such an attack on Iranian society and the political ramifications beyond Iran…
Washington
After the invasion of Iraq it was predicted that Iran would be America's next target, if President George W. Bush were re-elected. The massive electoral endorsement that he received for his second term, increased, that is before the insurgency in Iraq, the potential for confrontation with Iran. This article argues, among other things, that Washington has five options to deal with Iran: invasion/occupation, fomenting instability and supporting dis…

The Struggle for Reform in Iran
Since the election of the reformist President Muhammad Khatami in 1997, the conflict between the reformers and the religious conservatives has intensified. The reformers command the majority in the city councils and, more importantly, in parliament, but they have been unable to carry through their proclaimed agenda for social and political reforms. This is mostly because the conservatives, who control most of the institutions of power like the ar…
The muzzling of the liberal press in Iran
One of the major and tangible achievements of President Khatami's reform movement was the freedom that the press enjoyed in Iran in recent years. Not since the 1940s had the press been so free and so diverse in its coverage of sociopolitical topics. However, when the conservatives lost the parliamentary elections of February 2000 to the reform candidates, they blamed, to a degree correctly, the press for their crushing defeat. The hard-line conse…
Iran‐western Europe relations on the Mend
The Islamic Republic of Iran and Western Europe have had an uneasy political but economically productive relationship for two decades. During this period Iran and France, and Iran and Britain, have broken relations, and then restored them. Also, the West European countries (European Union, EU) have twice collectively briefly recalled their ambassadors from Iran over its alleged involvement in terrorism in Europe. Economically and commercially, ho…
The politics of the pipeline
A war between Iran and the Taliban's Afghanistan was averted in September 1998. The roots of the animosity between the two sides go much deeper than the killings of Iranian diplomats in Afghanistan and the reported massacre of Afghan Shi'ites by the Taliban. As the Iranians see it, an Afghanistan ruled by the Taliban is a threat to Iran's national security and economic and political interests not only in Afghanistan but, more importantly, in oil-…

US-Iran relations
The demonisation of Iran by successive US administrations and the media has been so successful that any attempt at offering a more balanced view of Iran is almost certain to be construed as an apology for a 'backlash', 'rogue' and an 'outlaw' state, words used by US officials to describe Iran. Under the Clinton administration, however, the demonisation process has reached a new height. Its list of the backlash states which 'seriously threaten the…
