Machine summary:
Inother words, the foreign policy of the- Islamic Republic of Iran was changed in accordance to Islamic codes followingthe victory of the Islamic revolution/" From that time on, the main object oflran's foreign policy apparatus was to implement government's plans and programs both inside and outside the country within frame of commands extracted from religious texts.
<5> The main discussion in this study, however, is political fiqh of Shia, which was presented to the world after the Islamic revolution by Iranian leaders within the frame of the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic oflran and gave rise to different performances in the field of foreign policy.
His thoughts about such issues as nature and goals of the Islamic revolution, natureand structure of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Islamic world and Islamic governments, structure of the international system and great powers, and finally, his viewpoints about the regional regimes are considered to be the most important theoretical bases of the Islamic Republic ofIran.
(17>Leaders of the Islamic revolution included such views, which stemmed from religious texts (defending rights of all Muslims, establishing a single world ummah, supporting the oppressed against tyrants as well as no commitment toward the arrogant power) in the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
As long as idealism of political Shiite fiqh as the dominant knowledge of religious texts governs Iran's foreign policy, we will continue to witness instability in the Islamic Republic oflran 's foreign policy.
