Abstract

Iran of President Ahmadinejad is subjected to political and economic isolation. The nuclear issue has weighted heavily on the Islamic Republic until the turn, when in 2013 the moderate Rohani become the new President. Rohani has imparted a strong acceleration at the country. After eighteen months of negotiations, the nuclear deal is a great victory and, subsequently, the end of the sanctions has opened Iran to new foreign investors. Everything now suggests an economic growth for the Islamic Republic that coincides with an increasingly prominent role in the Middle East. Iran is in Syria, in support of the Assad regime; in Iraq, besides Iraqi forces engaged in the fight against the Islamic State, with the aim of creating an outpost on the Mediterranean. Iran has also involved in Yemen, where leads a proxy war against the historic rival, the Saudi Arabia. Economic forecasts and soft-war conducted by Iran could exacerbate already compromised diplomatic relations with Riyadh up to a possible escalation of violence to achieve leadership in the Middle East.
