Abstract

Iran enjoys a unique geopolitical situation in the world. It is adjacent to the Middle East from west, the Persian Gulf basin from south, South Asia and the Indian Subcontinent from southeast and east, Central Asia and the Caucasus from northeast and north, and to enlarged EUROPEan region through Turkey from northwest. It can be claimed that no other country in the world possesses such a geopolitical situation. Although such a situation provides the country with a set of opportunities, any wrong decision - making, apart from national and international realities, in choosing the focus of policies and foreign relations activities may turn it into a ground for crisis and continued failure for IRAN. Recent developments in the past two decades at the national, regional and global levels and numerous and sometimes strategic problems in expanding its foreign relations on the one hand and increasing external threats to IRAN prove the fact that geographical focus in the country's foreign relations needs a serious and extensive revision. This paper seeks to trace the roots of problems in IRAN's external relations from the perspective of its geographical focus and to make suggestions for rectifying it. Considering political, economic and geopolitical changes in recent years on the regional and world scales, the author believes that change in the regional focus of IRAN's foreign relations from the west (i.e. the Arab Middle East) to the east in both the Indian Subcontinent and Central Asia not only will help open the deadlocks in foreign policy, but also may bring about a higher, better status for IRAN at the world level.
