The Look to the East policy has been one of the most important foreign policy approaches of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the new administration has adopted the approach to protect Iran’s interest at the international level.
A glance at Iran’s last three decades indicates that the look-to-the-East policy was strengthened after the eight-year war with Iraq and the Soviet disintegration. The look to the West policy temporarily gained weight in Iran’s foreign policy, but the measures taken by the US and Western countries convinced Iran to revive the previous approach and improve relations with Russia and China.
