dialogue between iran and the us: from the islamic awakening to occupy wall street

the us, not only failed to predict the occurrence of the middle east revolutions but also failed to understand the depth and the probability of its spread to other countries. while washington was engaged in tactical initiatives in confronting the islamic awakening, the islamic republic of iran took the creativity of a strategic game in hand. this was a three-step profile raised by the supreme leader of the islamic revolution. in the first phase the dialogue was related to the definition of the identity of the revolutions in the region where islam was considered as the inspiring factor and islam-seeking as its wish. the second step focused on the geographic direction of the spread of these revolutions and in the third stage, with emphasis on the common factor of zionism in the occurrence of the revolutions in the region and the occupy wall street movement, mixed these two movements. by raising the islamic republic dialogue, the us positioned against iran and we see a bipolar dialogue on the revolutions of the region between iran and the us. washington also tried to undermine this dialogue in the region. thus both sides, entering a dialogic confront, challenged each other’s soft power. this paper tries to express each side’s understanding of this reality and their attempt to represent it outside, by analyzing the stages of this confrontation.
