as senior political analyst cuumars yazdan panah believes if arab states were as steadfast as iran.ism can be seen in this regard. iran 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 policies, well, if other muslim countries had behaved like iran in the case of palestine and reached a consensus, maybe the political geography of palestine would have been formed by now, and there would be no more killing, intimidation, or oppression towards the palestinian people. the 1979 islamic revolution dramatically transformed iran's foreign policy behavior. this transformation included a change of official attitude toward palestine from antagonism to cordial relations. this iranian palestinian relationship is regarded as a vital part of the political puzzle in west asia, but for tehran, it's 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
