The Analysis of Ideological and Political Incompatibilities of Saudi Arabia towards the Cultural Strategy of the Islamic Republic of Iran (in the World of Islam)

After the Islamic Revolution, one of the obstacles to the realization of the cultural strategy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Islamic world has been the ideological and political incompatibilities of Saudi Arabia. The identification of these incompatibilities as well as analysis of their roots helps policymakers to make decision and promote the Iranian cultural strategy. Therefore, this research aims to explain the cultural strategy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Islamic world. Main questions which are raised includes what is the Iranian cultural strategy towards the Muslim world? What are their impacts on the Islamic World? Why is Saudi Arabia afraid of the realization of Iran's cultural strategy towards the Islamic world? According to the most of social scientists, identical issues for political and spiritual leadership in the Islamic World are evaluated as the main reasons for the Saudi's Arabia incompatible policy. But the author believes that its incompatibility is rooted in al-Saud's fear of the serious impact of Iranian cultural approach on political regime change in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, its confrontation with the Islamic revivalism are referred to the democratic transitions in the Arab World (hypothesis of the Paper). Consequently, the paper proves that Saudi Arabia is worried about horrible political consequences of the Islamic revivalism impacts (including, centrifugal movements or pervasive social phenomena such as revolution) on its regime through using data analysis method as well as theoretical/applied research.
