The June 2025 Israeli War
In June 2025, Iran and Israel engaged in their first direct war. Unlike the two confrontations of the previous year, this conflict began with an Israeli attack on Iranian territory. The intensity and duration of the fighting, and the types of weapons used, were unprecedented and unpredictable. Both sides claimed victory: Israel and the United States cited a setback of Iran's nuclear program by at least one year, as well as uncertainty over whethe…
Iran's Neighborhood Policy
In April 2024, Iran launched its first‐ever military strikes on Israeli soil. While the United States and its allies see Tehran as potentially stoking the Gaza war and spreading the conflict across the region, the Islamic Republic has actually drawn its neighbors closer and enjoys friendlier relations with them today than at nearly any point in its 45‐year history. This rapprochement had been pursued informally by successive Iranian administratio…
The Role of the Clergy in the Establishment and Consolidation of Pahlavi I (1925–1941)
In Iran, the writing of history has consistently been intertwined with political decisions, and official historiography written after the Islamic Revolution is no exception. The majority of books and articles on Pahlavi I have inherited this historiographic tradition, and are thus highly politicized, particularly around the topic of the role of the clergy during this era. Official narratives of this period are based on two representations: portra…
Iran’s changing naval strategy in the Persian Gulf
Beginning in 2016 Iran’s naval posture in the Persian Gulf changed from a defensive-offensive strategy, which had been in effect since 2001, to an offensive one. This was reinforced in 2019–2020, when, in response to the Trump administration, Iranian military strategists determined that any potential confrontation with the country’s adversaries is likely to take place at sea rather than on land or in the air. After the end of the Iran–Iraq war, I…
Medical Diplomacy and Iranian Foreign Policy
Despite numerous studies of Iran in recent decades, the country’s concerted efforts to expand its medical diplomacy have been largely overlooked by experts and observers alike. This is despite the fact that the Islamic Republic has sought to employ medical diplomacy as a viable tool for expanding its soft power for a number of years. Over the course of the last two decades, in fact, Iranian authorities and health professionals have considered the…
The Covid‐19 Pandemic and Iranian Health Diplomacy
Iran's foreign policy changed with the spread of Covid‐19 in three main ways. First, the pandemic propelled its health diplomacy into prominence. Second, the pandemic altered the customary view of the country's diplomacy. For more than four decades, Iran has regarded this diplomacy from the perspective of humanitarianism and ethics. But the pandemic imparted new object lessons. Third, the pandemic ushered Iran into a new era of cooperation with t…
Understanding Iran’s Decision-makings in Defence Issues and Missile Programme
The main question of the present study is: How is it that despite the West’s insistence on negotiation on Tehran’s missile programme and the possibility of sanctions being intensified in the event of Iran’s refusal, the Tehran authorities reject any negotiations in this regard? The findings of the present study indicate that Iranian political authorities, and in particular, the Iranian Leader, have a realistic view towards the country’s defence i…
