== Relations with Australia==
There is a long history of Iranian - Australian relations, this is simply not mentioned anywhere, due to my massive inexperience I am unable to add it to the Asia table, while there is nothing special about the relationship it has and does exist.   <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/203.220.22.172|203.220.22.172]] ([[User talk:203.220.22.172|talk]]) 13:34, 6 May 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Relations with UK ==

The long history of sour relations with the UK could be expanded upon. I'll make a start in a while... [[User:Seabhcan|Seabhcán]] 11:02, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

I think this page should be cleaned up, mostly in the 1980-1988 section. It is one sided against Iran.

==Iran-North Korea relations==
Could this be written about in detail? I'm sure there is some form of diplomacy between the two. Thanks.

== Exporting Islam ==

There is an AfD discussion currently in progress for the [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Iran's foreign policy|Iran's foreign policy]] article.  That article is a mess and probably should be deleted but I think the topic is encyclopedic and deserves to be included in Wikipedia in some fashion.  I don't think the topic is adequately covered here although it could be and maybe should be.  That is certainly one of the recommendations that has been mentioned in the AFD debate.

I fully recognize that I am not very knowledgeable about this area and that, being an American, I may have a biased view.

Nonetheless, here are some questions to consider

#Is "exporting Islam" a major component of Iran's foreign policy?  I think it is but I'm willing to be enlightened if I'm wrong.  
#Is Iran unique among Arab/Islamic nations in promoting the export of Islam?  I think it is not but I can't name another country that puts so much emphasis on it.
#Does the topic of "exporting Islam" deserve an article of its own or should it just be a section in this article?
#Are we talking about "exporting Islam" in general or are we talking about "exporting the Shiite version of Islam" in particular?

Your thoughts on these questions are welcomed at the [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Iran's foreign policy|AFD discussion page]] .

--[[User:Richardshusr|Richard]] 23:59, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I think those questions can be answered when the page is further cleaned up.[[User:Wikiedebs|Wikiedebs]] ([[User talk:Wikiedebs|talk]]) 18:51, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

==Removing Relic==
I am removing "See also: Iran's Islamic foreign policy" from the beginning of the History section, since this goes back to the current page.  It used to be a unique article, but now is a redirect to this article, so the link is a relic.  [[User:The Behnam|The Behnam]] 05:18, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

==See also section==
Lets not clutter that section up, all the relations are listed in the template already, so I removed them.[[User:Hajji Piruz|Hajji Piruz]] 13:33, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

== Original research mixed with NPOV ==
I'm going to remove this sentence from the bottom point in the "Current Disputes" section;

"Much of the present chaos present in Iraq could have been averted had the Administration taken up this "Grand Bargain."

While I don't disagree with it, it cannot actually be proven, as it's only an opinion. However if you could quote a political correspondent or something saying it, then we could stick it in, as their opinion. [[User:Ryan4314|Ryan4314]] 05:27, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

==Sticking to facts==
The sentence 

*'''Diplomatic contacts with developing and non-aligned countries,''' as part of an effort to build trade and political support, ''now that the US has become an enemy rather than an ally.''  

was replaced with 

*'''Diplomatic contacts with developing and non-aligned countries,''' as part of an effort to build trade and political support, ''now that it has lost its pre-revolutionary US backing.'' 

I think imposition of sanctions and serious war-planning against Iran constitute a bit more than loss of "backing" --[[User:BoogaLouie|BoogaLouie]] 15:43, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

:LOL dude calm down, your edit wasn't "bowderized or whitewashed", it's just that "enemy" is a strong word with lots of implications. Your re-edit to "adversary" is far more appropriate for the article. And for the clarity of anyone else reading this, the sentence wasn't "replaced" it was "reverted back" to it's original form that has existed since November 15, 2004. [[User:Ryan4314|Ryan4314]] 18:47, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Speaking of sticking to the facts, the part where the article says the US and Germany provided Iraq with chemical weapons definitely needs a citation.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/74.197.3.154|74.197.3.154]] ([[User talk:74.197.3.154|talk]]) 19:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Anyone know anything about post-Islamic Revolution Iran's relations with the Soviets? That isn't in the article already? [[User:BillMasen|BillMasen]] ([[User talk:BillMasen|talk]]) 18:18, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

From what I know, post-Islamic Revolution Iran did not like the Soviets. If that isn't in the article, I sure will add it.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Wikiedebs|Wikiedebs]] ([[User talk:Wikiedebs#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Wikiedebs|contribs]]) 18:55, 6 May 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Iran's reaction to Israel's aggression in Gaza ==

I'd like to mention Iran's response to contemporary events, specifically, to Israel's attack on Gaza.  Here is the text I would like to add.

<blockquote>
Iranian officials have condemned "international inaction" and "bias toward Israel".  Saaed Jalili, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, on Sunday (4 Jan), called Gaza "a scene of disgrace for those who claim to be confronting terrorism," He said that these unnamed powers "are not only keeping quiet vis-a-vis the Zionist terrorism, they are actually confirming it", and he called on all countries to stop Israel's "war machine."<ref name=Reuters>{{cite news | url= title=Gaza to be Israeli "graveyard:" Iran's Larijani | date=2009-01-04 accessdate=2009-01-04 author=Hashem Kalantari publisher=Reuters}}</ref>
</blockquote>

Editors at the [[2008–2009_Israel–Gaza_conflict | Gaza Assault]] "Reactions" section have removed the information because it doesn't fit the extremely concise format they seek to impose on the material.  Apparently, the aim there is to present as little reaction as possible.  Where, then, can lengthier reactions be posted?

I propose adding a section to this article where we could report Iran's views on contemporary issues -- on the war against Iraq, on the 2006 war against Lebanon, on the current war against Gaza, on terrorism, etc..

== Norway-relations? ==

===Text for this article, or a seperate article? ===
The following texts, do they belong in this article, or in an article about [[Norway–Iran relations]]?

*"An Iranian diplomat, stationed in [[Belgium]],was granted [[political asylum]] in Norway in 2010, after having defected."

:(The original Norw. text: ''[[Farzad Farhangian]] var inntil i forrige uke pressemedarbeider ved Irans ambassade i Brussel. Mandag kom han til Norge  for å søke politisk asyl ...'' from [[Verdens Gang]], Sept.15 page 12)

*"An Iranian diplomat, stationed in [[Norway]],was granted [[political asylum]] in Norway in February 2010, after having defected the previous month."

:("I januar hoppet [[Mohammed Reza Heydari]] ved Irans ambassade i Norge av. Han fikk innvilget politisk asyl i Norge i februar.")

===Help needed regarding the introduction to a new section relating to Norway===
What was the first notable contact, after Norway's independence in 1905, between Iran and Norway?

Any suggestions to what else might belong in a new section about Norway-Iran relations?

== Rtnews template ==

I've removed the [[Russia Today]] news template from the page, as it had raised concern because it pointed to a single trending news page, rather than a selection of trend pages, and after discussion in the appropriate places, it's easier to remove it than it is to add lots of other trend pages, as I don't know of any (don't have time to look). If there are any comments, concerns, or suggestions please reply on my talkpage, as I don't watch this page. <span style="text-shadow:#c5C3e3 0.2em 0.2em 0.2em;">[[User:Penyulap|'''Penyulap''']]</span>[[User talk:Penyulap|<span style="font-size: 1.2em;color:transparent;text-shadow:green 0em 0.2em 0.02em;">  ☏</span>]] 02:21, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

== Merge with [[Allies of Iran]] ==

No evidence that the topic of [[Allies of Iran]] is substantially different than this article.—[[User:SpanishSnake|SpanishSnake]] ([[User_talk:SpanishSnake|talk]]) 11:50, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
:Support merge. The concept of what does and doesn't constitute an ally also suggest [[WP:POV]]; I think that it makes sense to just list the relationships in a more neutral way. [[User:Klbrain|Klbrain]] ([[User talk:Klbrain|talk]]) 12:26, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

== Lack of a map ==

Why there is no map of the world to show those foreign relations like other countries have?  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2A00:A040:19B:214D:99C1:5A9C:F320:597E|2A00:A040:19B:214D:99C1:5A9C:F320:597E]] ([[User talk:2A00:A040:19B:214D:99C1:5A9C:F320:597E#top|talk]]) 23:19, 20 August 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== remove pragmatim ==

this section is generally bad. its just a spin around one quote from some american dumbass, not relevant or insightful to the article.  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/51.175.220.255|51.175.220.255]] ([[User talk:51.175.220.255#top|talk]]) 10:55, 20 February 2021 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Saudi Arabia ==

Should Saudi Arabia be blue? Since they restarted diplomatic relations? [[User:Doremon764|Doremon764]] ([[User talk:Doremon764|talk]]) 15:55, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

== Incorrect Info Regarding Iranian-Egyptian Relations ==

This article says "Diplomatic relations [between Iran and Egypt were] severed 30 April 1979", but the article on [[Egypt–Iran relations#2007 to 2015|Egypt–Iran relations]] states diplomatic relations were re-established in 2012. I think the field may need to be updated, as it seems to be currently incorrect. [[User:Avereo|Avereo]] ([[User talk:Avereo|talk]]) 02:29, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

== Reputation Ranking ==

The article references a study done on the “reputation” of the 55 largest states by gdp. It presents the findings of the study as a representation of the global perception of Iran. Because this study was performed almost exclusively in NATO or NATO aligned countries, I don’t believe it is accurate or reasonable to present it this way. It seems akin to evaluating America’s global reputation based solely on polling the citizens of Islamist states.
