Iranian-Israeli relations in light of the Iranian Revolution
| Title: | Iranian-Israeli relations in light of the Iranian Revolution |
| Author: | Vessali, Behrang Vameghi |
| Abstract: | This thesis considers the transformation of Iranian-Israeli ties following the 1979 Iranian Revolution from a Western-allied relationship to a covert, scandalous relationship, specifically in the context of the Iran-Iraq War. I also look at the Iranian and Israeli narratives and compare the religious, historical, ideological and psycho-political underpinnings that reveal significant similarities between these two superficially diametrically opposed states, and ultimately shaped the complex and misunderstood relationship between the two countries. |
