Product Description

This book examines the internal and external dynamics – Iranian polity, foreign policy and the capabilities of the Iranian military – which affect and often determine the policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran. It acknowledges the important role that Iran plays in Gulf affairs – particularly in the area of security – and looks at the evolution of Iranian foreign policy in recent years.

First Sentence:
The three factors of Islam as a mobilizing faith and ideology in the Iranian revolution - the participation of the clergy and the leadership of Ayatollah Khomeini in the revolutionary process, the role of Muslim intellectuals in Islamic resurgence prior to the revolution, and their involvement in laying out revolutionary strategy - were crucial in installing a symbiotic relationship between religion and politics in post-revolutionary Iran. Read the first page

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is misleading from the get go..., January 29, 2005
I was confused as if the author by choosing a title "Iran and the Gulf" is talking about "Iran and the Gulf of Mexico", "Iran and the Gulf of Mannar", "Iran and the Gulf of Tonkin" or did he mean "Iran and the PERSIAN GULF"....If he is so insincere to accept the 5000 year old fact that this body of water is called PERSIAN GULF in his title; how can he be objective in the rest of his arguments.

By continuing to refer to Persian Gulf as Arabian Gulf the author, Mr. Al-Suwaidi who appears to subscribe to the Pan Arabian ideology, is simply trying to dilute from the publics memory the name PERSIAN and their contributions to humanity and world civilizations.

Here you have a perfect example of Persian Gulfs Arab Sheikhs PETRO $$$ at work!!!

The name "Persian Gulf" does not mean this body of water belongs to Persians the same way as Arabian Sea doesn't give ownership of the sea to Arabs.

Accept the simple fact Jamal and move on man.
