Abstract
The changes in international politics caused change in foreign policies of the states. The governments of many countries began to develop foreign policies to alliances and relations. According to with the "Look to the Iranian government, the East" can serve Iran's national interests and can break dependence on the West and balanced foreign policy problems: political isolation logical isolation. These are caused by Iran's foreign policy; Iran has rejected the prevailing norms of the international system and the regional dynamics. The immediate consequences are: political showdown with the West particularly the U.S. and in the region tensions have increased with the neighbors. At the same time Iran heavily relies on its oil and gas revenue to achieve an economic growth. At this time when Iran is facing increasing international isolation, "Look to the East" policy can serve as fine recipe for its stagnated oil business and the Asian nations. Iranian state is looking proactively towards the Asian Countries especially India. Iran’s foreign policy raises many unanswered questions. The objectives of study to provide an account and assessment of Iran’s relations with the outside world within these new systemic conditions and account of Iran’s relations with the rest of the world will be preceded by a brief historical account of these relations. The study tries to highlight about Iran’s foreign policy? How does Iran define its interests and choose to pursue them? Is this a matter to be explained or to be understood? Is its foreign policy based on words or deeds, behavior or action?

Summary
A major way in which foreign policy today serves a country’s interest by contributing to its economic and social progress. This has made foreign policy increasingly development-oriented. There is little doubt that Iranian foreign policy-makers have carefully taken into account their geopolitical environment at both the regional and global levels and have since 1979 been able to defend Iran’s national security interests in war and peace. Whether during the eight years of defensive war against Iraq or in the face of American and Israeli military threats, national security interests have been given the highest priority, even at the expense of domestic freedoms. In the United States, for example, many Americans have become concerned that the Bush administration’s overwhelming emphasis on national security and military power since the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington on 11 September 2001 is threatening their civil liberties.
