Abstract
The Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) espouses an official policy of anti-Zionism, which is frequently punctuated with blatant antisemitism. Although the Imperial State of Iran enjoyed diplomatic and strategic relations with Israel, following the 1979 Islamic Revolution all bilateral relations were severed by the newly established Islamic Republic. Tehran vocally supports Palestinian sovereignty over the whole of present-day Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza, while periodically calling for the destruction of the Jewish State. It systematically refers to Israel by demeaning terms such the "Zionist regime" and "Occupied Palestine," and positions both Israel and Jews as posing a threat to Iran, Muslims, and the world more generally. Iran's fervent anti-Zionist/antisemitic position has drawn support from other Arab and Muslim countries, and condemnation from much of the Western world.
