More than 30
years on from Iran’s Islamic Revolution, which ended the reign of
monarchs, the country continues to fascinate, worry and excite outsiders
in similar measures. Many nations in the West (and many in the Rest as
well) had focused on Iran as problem-country, security spoiler and
threat but Iran had emerged as rational nation to resist the external
pressures, embargoes and international isolation. Iran had developed in
various fields enabling nation to become self-sufficient, this
self-sufficiency is also the outcome of many factors like nationhood- as
a gift of Islamic Revolution, international sanctions’ led isolation and
others. The power aspirations- not least its nuclear programme had
clashed overtime with regional and external actors but ambition matched
with pragmatism provided a continuous theme in emergence of Iran as an
inspirational regional power in post-revolutionary Iran. Now that the
sanctions have been lifted and JCPOA has been successfully implemented,
there arise greater chances and prospects for Iran to rise as a regional
power and influential trading partner of international system. This
paper tries to outline Iran’s resistance to external pressures and
embargoes, which helped Iran in total to emerge as a self-sufficient
nation and involve successfully in international market as well as
politics. Cite This Article As: Jan F (2016). Iran towards Self-Sufficiency. Inter. J. Polit. Sci. Develop. 4(3): 98-107
