Question is, why has the Islamic Republic of iran pursued unwavoring propalestinian policies for more than four decades. What is the rational behind irans attitude towards palestine and how does iran view the palestinian question . These are more on this episode of iran today. We visit the palestine exhibition located in the National Museum of the Islamic Revolution and the holy defense, a remarkable display portraying the history of the Palestinian Movement right from the beginning until quite recent developments. As you along the exhibition, you can learn more about the horrific. Leading to the Israeli Occupation of palestine, key resistance figures and the neverending israeli atrocities. To know more, we went to the society for the defense of the palestinian nation and visited his political deputy dr. He is also a University Professor at tehran faculty of world studies. We asked him what the palestinian cause is in the first place. آرمان. Look, what is today referred to as the palestian cause is completely in accordance with International Law . Every community has a right to selfdetermination according to the un charter. Palestine has been used for 75 years in israel and its western supporters have deprived the palestinians of the right to self determination. Its interesting that the westerns support this in a political instance and raised the issue of twostate solution. The point is that they agree that the Israeli Regime should withdraw from the west bank, the gaza and east. Tell goods, but israel does not do this. The palestinian cause is to create a state for the Palestinian Community and to recognize the right as a community and have a state for themselves. There is no doubt that palestine holds lofty status in the muslim world, given that its land contains muslams first or direction of prayer, the holy mark of alaqsa and that it has been occupied by the Israeli Regime. For iran, palestine represents the oppressed of the world. Even before the victory of the Islamic Revolution, the founder of the Islamic Republic imam komaini lent a special significance to the palestinian question in his speed. In a statement in december 1978, the grand ayatollah said, we have all spoken of israel and the fact that it is userper. Our intention has always been to stand by our palestinian brothers and whenever we gain power we will join them in defending the rights like brothers standing as equals in the same line of battle as them. Baitul muqaddas must be return to the. One National Brothers and religious brothers. And we cannot be indifferent to our religious brothers in palestine, lebanon, syria, iraq, kashmir, bosnia, wherever. If they are oppressed, we have to help them at, what iran is doing in support of the palestinian nation, is an accepted norm in the international arena. In fact, decades prior to the triumph of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, the iranian nation showed solidarity with the people of palestine. اگر پیغمبر اسلام زندگی می بود امروز چه می کرد درباره چه مسئله ای اندیشید پیغمبر اکرم داستانی که دل حسین بن علی رو خون داره. What the Islamic Republic is doing is in a sense a religious duty that muslim nations must perform as regard to their religious brothers and therefore no extremism can be seen in this regard one has tried maintain its Core Principles not to fluctuate like some arab states because iran thinks that its principles in relation to palestine are correct policy well if Muslim Country had behaved like iran in case of palestine and reached a consensus, maybe the political geography of palestine would have been formed by now, and there will be no more killing, intimidation or oppression towards the palestinian people. The 1979 Islamic Revolution dramatically transformed irans Foreign Policy behavior. This transformation included a change of official iranian attitude toward palestine from antagonism to cordial relations. This iranian palestine. Relationship is regarded as a vital part of the political puzzle in west asia, but for tehran, its simply beyond politics. Shortly after the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, iran designated itself as an Islamic Republic to represent a new identity at the regional and global levels. As an islam republic, iran found its own due to shoulder some responsibility for evicating the. Islamic agenda, promoting the idea of Islamic Union and lending support to fellow muslims across the world, especially the oppressed, those need protection. As Imam Khomaini stated, we support the oppressed, we support whoever is oppressed wherever they may be, and the palestinians are oppressed, the israelis oppress them, for this reason we support them. Calls to support the palestinians were received warmly by the iranians due to their sense of islamic solidarity, their shared history of battling against imperialism. As well as their common values. This is sayid amir musawi, a former iranian diplomat and the director of the center for strategic studies and international relations. He told us that the palestine issue is complicated for at least two reasons. حالا مشکل اینجاست الانی بحث انسان. On one hand, its a humanitarian issue, its about a country under occupation, on the other hand, its about the presence of the. Countries, they have tried to make themselves superior to arab and muslim countries, they got mission from countries such as the uk, the us and france to become a nuclear country, and now they possess at least dozens of nuclear warheads, they are doing mischief, they are oppressing the palestinian people, they are killing them and violating the rights, at the same time there after harming neighboring countries, after the. 1979 revolution, one of the first moves was to institutionalize antisigns and propalestinian discourse by replacing the Israeli Mission in tehran with a palestinian embassy. Tehran under the process islamizing the palestinian cause by declaring the last day of every ramadan as the hots day, calling on muslims around the world to exhibit solidarity. Imam khomaini reiterated that iran as a Muslim Country had an obligation to protect other muslim nations around the world. Particularly the people of palestine against the Israeli Regime. Its rightly believed that almost all sanctions and International Pressure on the Islamic Republic of iran stem from tehrons unflinching support for the palestinian cause and consequently its enmity towards the Israeli Regime. But why has iran decided to take this somewhat selfsacrificing policy towards palestine . Theres a consensus among politicians of all stripes inside iran that the countries board of palestine cannot be compromised due to its importance to the islamic world and its synonimity with the identity of the Islamic Revolution. Mr. Ruy varon agreed that iran is paying a high price for not recognizing the Israeli Regime as legitimate state, but he added something thought provoking. There is no denying that a part of the sanctions that have been imposed on iran are due to iran stands towards israel, basically opposing israel and defending the palestinian nation. How. بسیار سنگینی بسیاری از پیغام هایی که غرب yes, iran is now paying heavy price. Many of the messages that there was sent to iran, they say if iran just recognizes israel, the wests behavior towards iran will change favorably. Foreign investments will be made in iran and Economic Development will happen in the country. But you know the political system in iran is an independent system and is not willing to be dominated. The issue of defending the palestinion cose is in line with the National Ideals of our society. The price we pay for standing up the west is less than surrendering to the west, which we see in some states in the region. 242, 338 was major country or as a sometimes dup the islamic world, iran has inevitably focused its attention on the most vital challenge facing the muslim world, the question of palestine and the flight of the palestinians. Moreover, propalestinian sentiments sit well with antiimperialism as two Core Principles for the Islamic Republic of iran. Mr. Yazdon that other muslim countries should seriously join iran and support the palestinian cause if they really want to see the end of the flight of the palestinian nation. When there is no collective will, we cannot expect a miracle from the supports of palestine like iran. On the contrary, unfair pressure will be exerted towards these quarters, including iran. As you know, iran has been under pressure from the International Community for supporting resistance groups in the territories, and this pressure may continue and even intensify in the future. Therefore, what is certain is that until the muslim countries in the organization of islamic cooperation do not reach a strategic solution, no big changes happen in favor of the palestinians. In other words, just some protests and warnings will not have favorable impact on the fleet of palestine and the palestinians. Theres plenty more right after a quick glance at some new exerce.

Amit the ongoing attacks by israel regime against the palestinians in the gaza strip. This brings us to the end of the news section. Stay tuned as we go back to the main narrative. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution, iran embedded in constitution, islamic principles and values, stemming from the holy quran, the prophet muhammads way of life, that is sunnah, narrated, that is, these principles and values served as the basis of the islamic. Constitution. The constitution emphasizes the necessity of supporting the rights of all muslims and directing irans Foreign Policy towards promoting friendship among muslim countries. The holy quran contains a number of verses that clearly recommend muslims to unite and act in harmony to support their fellow muslims and to protect the oppressed. To that end imam komennis vision of. That is the oppressed versus the oppressers created a central structure for irans Foreign Policy after 1979. The culture of resistance which has come to define the Islamic Republic of iran and its absolute commitment to palestine is central to the countrys constitution. It is asserts that iran considers the attainment of independence, freedom and rule of justice and truth to be the right of all people of the world. Now lets. Discuss supporting the palestinian cause from the legal standpoint, does the iranian constitution mention anything regarding this matter . قانون اساسی جمهوری اسلامی ایران, in the constitution of Islamic Republic of iran, it is mentioned that iran should not be indifferent to the situation of muslim brothers, islamic communities and the and the country is acting accordingly. In iran, we speak completely honestly about these issues, while other countries may support others, different names america, as one of the biggest powers in the world, is present in various regions and has military bases here and there just to interf in different regions. The us says, for example, its presence in the region is due to its alliance with this or that country. In short, we act based a religious point of view, and they act based on the hegemonic point of view. According to the iranian constitution, article 154, the islamic. Republic of iran has its ideal human felicity throughout Human Society and considers the attainment of independence, freedom and rule of justice and truth to be the right of all people of the world. Accordingly, while scrupulously refraining from all forms of interference in the internal affairs of other nations, it supports the just struggles of the Freedom Fighters against the oppressors in every corner of the globe. More than four decades of wholehearted support has made the Islamic Republic the. In contrast to some arab countries peace deals with Israeli Regime or have coseed up to it has never compromised this core principle of helping the helpless. Mr. Yasan told us that the majority of the muslim world is suffering from kind of paradox over the issue of palestine. The muslim world is caught in a sort of paradox due to the lack of agreement and understanding over the. Issue, some states une expected tilted towards the Israeli Regime, others just issue statements and warnings about the disastrous situation of muslims in palestine and kazas strip, they do nothing more, nothing meaningful or effective, the Islamic Republic, some other muslim countries such as syria, lebanon as well as Palestinian Resistance movement are almost the only players that seriously care about the issue, last but not least the Islamic Republic. Support for sunni arab palestine is a clear convincing proof against baseless allegations that tehran is pursuing only the allegedly shia persian interests. More than four decades of support and self sacrifice for the sake of the palestinian cause for a country that has been under the harshest of sanctions, clear up any doubts as to irans intentions. Palestine is sacrasind in iran and the country is prepared to pay for the palestinian cause, no matter how much the cost might be. The palestine issue is issue of great importance in the world.
