Examining the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran towards the Persian Gulf states from 1979 to 1998, this text covers the perceptions Iranians and Arabs have of each other, Islamic revolutionary ideology, the Iran/Iraq war, the Gulf crisis, the election of President Khatami and finally the role of external powers, such as the US. The author argues that over the 20-year period, the policy has moved from being ideological to pragmatic, and that by tracing its history we can better anticipate its future relationship.
