Abstract

Seyd Navid Nasirpourosgoei, in a note on Iranian diplomacy, writes: As one of the world's most significant holders of gas, oil, and mineral resources, Iran (which the United States and Western countries do not have control over as rivals to China) can serve as a reliable supplier for China's future energy needs. In return, China, possessing cutting-edge global technologies and advanced industries, can meet Iran's requirements for the development of industrial, commercial, military, and political infrastructures in the future—something Western governments have never provided to Iran, both before and after the 1979 Revolution.

Description

On November 29, 1952, General Eisenhower (the then President of the United States) stated in a speech: "Iran's strategic position is such that we must not allow them (Iran) to return to their past era and become a power that would pose a threat to the future of the West" (IRINN, 1392). It was one year after these remarks that the legitimate government of Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh was overthrown by a military coup, which was orchestrated with the involvement and management of the CIA and MI6 (Ebrahimian, 2017).
