Iran - Emerging Superpower of the Persian Gulf.

Abstract

This paper examines the newly emerging role of Iran in the Persian Gulf. A short background review of the Pahlavi Dynasty is presented. Social, political and economic conditions presently existing in Iran are examined to determine if Iran's perceived goals are realistic. Soviet and American interests in the Gulf and their interrelationship with Iran are also discussed. A review of literature, with heavy emphasis upon recent periodicals was extensively used in the preparation of this essay. (Author)
