Iran

The changes, taking place in the world arena at the beginning of the XXI century, forced the states of the world to reconsider its attitude to the world, and in particular to foreign policy. Economic globalization and liberalization of the principles and rules of the world trade had a tremendous impact on the domestic life and on the international situation in many countries, the objects of international politics. Policy in foreign trade should be one of the main directions of the foreign policy.

Not so long ago, all the world's newswires were full of information about the events in the Middle East, where the revolutionary fiery lava swept all obstacles standing in its way, sparing neither awakened people, nor the ruling elite of the countries. Since the end of December and up to this day, Arab countries have become a hostage of this national disaster. The causes of unrests in the region are diverse and agitated in many guises, and they have both socio-economic and political overtones and religious roots, corresponding to the specific historical development of the countries.

In 1951-1953 Iran was involved in the second mass social movement. The struggle for the nationalization of oil, led by Mohammad Mosaddegh, caused a clash between the people and the Shah and there was antagonism of external forces. The coalition, supported by broad sections of rural and urban population, achieved considerable success at first, but soon it faced with the resistance of the internal forces and foreign intervention, and did not reach its goals.

I think if the religious leaders of our Planet met at the roundtable discussion and without saying a word looked in their opponents’ eyes, they would see the same feelings there.
