Geography is an important factor in informing Iran's foreign policy. Following the 1979 Iranian Revolution,the newly formed Islamic Republic,under the leadership of Ayatollah Khomeini,dramatically reversed the pro-American foreign policy of the last Shah of Iran Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Since then the country's policies have oscillated between the two opposing tendencies of revolutionary ardour to eliminate Western and non-Muslim influences while promoting the Islamic revolution abroad,and pragmatism,which would advance economic development and normalization of relations. Iran's bilateral dealings are accordingly sometimes confused and contradictory.
