Discourse analysis of the foreign policy of Ebrahim Raisi government

The coming and going of different governments that emerged after the Islamic revolution shows the reality of changes in foreign policy while maintaining some fixed principles. The coming of the 13th government also carries some new elements or at least new narratives of the aforementioned principles. Based on this, the foreign policy of the 13th government, as a discourse, carries and contains certain elements that distinguish it from the discourses before and after it. The purpose of this article is to examine the most important elements and minutes of the foreign policy of Ebrahim Raisi's government in the framework of the discourse analysis method. The question of the article is how to conceptualize the foreign policy of the 13th government in the form of the discourse system of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe? In this regard, “pragmatic revolutionism” or in other words “Justice-oriented multilateralism”, is considered as the focal point (central sign) of the foreign policy discourse of the mentioned government, which is related to its peripheral elements such as: the strategy of neutralizing sanctions and intelligent balancing of foreign economic and political relations through two mechanisms involving the look-to-the-east strategy and the neighborhood policy; the resistance strategy, the establishment of a just international system based on multilateralism, the anti-sanctions strategy through the two mechanisms of simulcasting the neutralization of sanctions (as a strategy) and politics Lifting the embargo (as a tactic) and finally loosening the link between livelihood and national economy gives meaning and meaning to these peripheral elements.
