Iran has
the potential to become a significant regional and international player. Iran
uses all its soft and military power in this regard. However, it is facing a
problem in exporting its theocratic model to regional countries. The Iranian strategy
is one of the most controversial strategies
in the Middle East. Since the Cold War era, the Iranian foreign policy has seen
various political patterns in regional and international levels. Iran’s
geostrategic location, population weight, imperial legacy, and military power make Tahran
play significant role in the region. The
article argues that despite the Islamic aspirations, Iran’s strategic approach
to the region, beginning from 2003, is focused on armed Shiite groups. Indeed,
through these non-state agents, Iran has extended its influence in Iraq,
Lebanon, Syria and Yemen.

ايران دولة
حالها حال الدول الاخرى لها من الامكانات والموارد السياسية ما يؤهلها للاضطلاع
بأدوار اقليمية ودولية ذات شان استراتيجي مؤثر، كما ان لها من الخصوصية السياسية
في ادارتها للازمات في الشرق الاوسط من منطلق المصلحة القومية العليا، وهي في سبيل

مشكلة كبيرة في تسويق نموذجها السياسي الثيوقراطي، خصوصا في دول الجوار العربي
والخليجي، وعلى الرغم من اعتمادها على استراتيجية التمكين لانجاح مسعاها السياسي ،
الا ان هذا النجاح ارتد عليها بالفشل نتيجة عدم اداء الادوات لادوارها بصورة تخدم
المصالح الايرانية، بل ان المستقبل قد وضع ايران ضمن اطار حسابات معقدة لم تنفك ان
أرقت صناع القرار في ايران.
