Résumé : The author offers a new perspective on Iran’s policy in Asia. He shows that Iran’s strategy in Asia took shape after the death of Ayatollah Khomeini and notes that Iran’s Asian foreign policy has remained unchanged under the successive presidential administrations of Rafsanjani, Khatami, and Ahmadinezhad. After reviewing the historical background of the political and economic connections between Iran and Asia, the author concludes that this aspect of Iran’s foreign policy cannot be ignored by Westerners, given their long-term nature.
