Iran, Palestine, national interests

The victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran in 1979 was a watershed in Iranian politics. The ties between Tehran and Tel Aviv were cut off overnight, and instead the Palestinian cause became a centerpiece in Iran’s foreign policy.

In humanitarian terms, it behooves all to do everything in their power to put an end to the plight of the Palestinians who have long been subject to the atrocities of the Israeli regime.

In Islamic terms, all Muslims are required to do their best to help their Palestinian brothers out. But what about state actors? Are they obliged too to do what they can for the Palestinian cause? What about their own national interests?

When it comes to the Islamic Republic of Iran, it seems that the country has spared no effort to support Palestine, regardless of its national interests. But has the country really sacrificed its national interests for the sake of the Palestinian nation? If yes, where is the limit? If not, would it do?
