Foreign Policy
Iran's foreign policy is built on resistance to Western hegemony, opposition to Israel, and the projection of Shia influence across the region. It seeks to balance sanctions pressure by cultivating strategic partnerships with Russia and China, including joining the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and BRICS. The nuclear file remains central -- Iran seeks sanctions relief while preserving its enrichment capabilities. Iran also emphasizes South-South solidarity and anti-interventionism at the UN.
