The study of how factors such as geography, economics, military capability and non-State actors affects the foreign policy of states.

All articles will require a short submission statement of 3-5 sentences.

Use the article title as the submission title. Do not editorialize the title or add your own commentary to the article title.

In this community we encourage long, in-depth submissions. Submissions should not be news articles that merely provide quick updates on current events; instead they should include background information and an explanation as to why the events they describe are occurring.

Submissions should not be about an individual country's domestic policies. Instead, they should be about relationships between different countries and/or relevant international organizations. Things like breakaway politics are permitted in this subreddit, as they are relevant to and could affect the geopolitical system.

Submissions are strongly encouraged to come from reputable sources. When posting from a lesser known source, please check whether the authors have some sort of qualification demonstrating they are knowledgeable of the subjects they discuss.

Sources that include (or solely contain) maps, statistics, or other multimedia (videos, interviews, primary sources, etc.) are permitted and even encouraged in this subreddit.

We encourage discussion and welcome anyone to pose hypotheses and ask questions. We allow self-posts.

We encourage comments to be cited.

Approximately 80% of Iran’s economic activity is driven by the state sector, which includes state-owned and semi-state-owned companies (source)

Not that there're many "normies" here, but if one sees that, opposing zionism doesn't mean that Iran would oppose the formation of a jewish state in Europe or the U.S.A.
In fact, since we(sterners) are the ones who feel guilty towards jews after the Shoah(, and the centuries/millenias prior), then it should be from our lands that a territory is given to the jewish people(, a land often taken from amerindians or aboriginal australians). Another possibility would be to give something in exchange of the Holy Lands considered by the vast majority of the Ummah as being of equal/superior value.
Instead of a fair exchange, we'll just take these territories by force, and accuse those resisting of antisemitism, as if we were accusing the indigenous people of the world of being anti-westerners for opposing colonization, or the arabs of christianophobia for opposing the Crusades. They're obviously defending their lands(, and no less than the Holy Lands where the abrahamic religions were born).

A one-state solution then, i included it and many people are defending that indeed, what remains to be seens is under what conditions, thanks for your answer.
(And as you probably already know, i've never said nor thought that colonization is virtuous)
