چکیده:
Relations between Iran and India، two ancient civilizations، go far back in history. However، the contemporary politico-economic relations between these two major Asian powers، especially after the Islamic revolution in Iran in 1979، are affected by various different domestic، regional and international elements. The main objective of this research is to analyze the dominant foreign policy trends in Iran-India relations during the last three decades. A historical review of the evolution of transitional trends in Iran and India's foreign policy approaches، especially during the Post-Cold War era، with an emphasis on the role of different internal، regional and international elements in shaping these approaches، would bring new light on the study of relations between these two countries. The effects of these different approaches on Indo-Iranian relations and the future perspective of these policies will be analyzed in this paper.

A historical review three of the evolution of transitional trends in Iran and India's foreign policy approaches, especially during the Post-Cold War era, with an emphasis on the role of different internal, regional and international elements in shaping these approaches, would bring new light on the study of foreign relations between these two countries.
S. intervention in Iran in 1953 to overthrow democratically-elected Iranian Premier Dr. Mohammad Mossadeq over the issue of oil nationalization and the design of the Cold War international relations structure, Iran’s sympathy towards the Western bloc and its relations with India’s arch-rival Pakistan, some obstacles prevented the improvement of bilateral ties.
Iran was concerned by the following issues in its relationship with its eastern neighbor, India; the India-Pakistan dispute over Kashmir, Afghan-Soviet-Indian amity, the Soviet interest in securing direct access to the Indian Ocean, India's growing economic and military strength as an Indian Ocean power as well as its expanding ties with the Arab world.
(Parveen, 2006) In the late 1970s, India successfully improved bilateral relations by developing mutually beneficial economic exchanges with a number of Islamic countries, particularly Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and other Persian Gulf states.
India’s biggest quest to secure energy resources overseas has been most successful in Iran, where the Indian Oil Corporation, a state-run company, reached a January 2005 agreement with the Iranian firm Petropars to develop a gas block in the gigantic South Pars gas field, home to the world’s largest gas reserves.
