Iran’s regional strategy: Between realpolitik and revolution - 2020.
68
Iran is involved in several different regional conflicts. As illustrated by the anti-Iranian protests in Iraq, nationalist movements are increasingly challenging Tehran’s influence. The Iranian people are also becoming more critical of the regional strategy implemented by their leaders, who are in turn facing internal divisions: while President Rouhani is a pragmatist, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei aims primarily to preserve the legacy of the Islamic Revolution.
