The Foreign Policy Approach of IRI toward Bahraini People's Rising

The Bahrainis, following the 2011 Arab uprisings in 2011, intended to overthrow Al-Khalifa regime. This uprising in the Arab world attracted the attention of many regional and international actors. Iran was among the countries that pursued the Bahraini process from the outset. Because of its democratic character and its revolutionary reputation, the Islamic Republic has always inspired popular movements in the countries of the region, so they supported them in a diplomatic way following the uprisings in Bahrain and condemned any repression of the people in this regard. The main question in the present article lies in IRI`s foreign policy approach to Bahraini rising? As explained in the paper, Iran's system, based on the discourse of the Islamic Revolution on preserving the independence of nations, while opposing any interference and presence of foreign forces in Bahrain, has intended to prepare the people`s interest as it may. In this research, the hypothesis should be tested using constructive theory.
