Abstract
This study examined Iran's position on the Palestinian issue from 2003 to 2023, analyzing its ideological and strategic dimensions within the context of regional and international transformations. It found that Iran's stance was shaped by a combination of revolutionary ideology rooted in the principles of the Islamic Revolution and pragmatic regional interests aimed at enhancing its influence in the Middle East. Through political, military, and media support for the Palestinian resistance, Iran sought to assert itself as a defender of the Palestinian cause while simultaneously using this position to serve its own geopolitical objectives. Consequently, Iran's approach contributed to both strengthening Palestinian resistance movements and intensifying regional polarization between supporters and opponents of its policies.
