Iran, of late, has acquired increasing attention from scholars. Its spectacular rise, within a short span of a decade, from a small power to a medium power in the global context, and from a medium power to a big power in the regional context, has attracted attention not only of military strategists but also of social scientists. Iran’s policies on the domestic field, like the Shah-people revolution, its oil policy and consequently the policy of rapid industrialization, its military policy and foreign policy, therefore, have been studied thoroughly by scholars.
