The Iranian regime pursues a “settlement” project that it believes is supported by God. Thus any diplomatic activity, be it cultural, religious or military, between Iran and any other state only serves Iran’s expansionist project and is in agreement with its constitution. Iran only uses the states it signs any agreements with or exchanges any kind of relations with, as a step and a bridge for its expansionist Persian project. However, as stated above Iran is not a normal state as it has an expansionist project and has well thought out plans pushing in that direction. Its relation with Algeria or some parties in Tunisia or Morocco is based on the extent to which these parties serve Iranian agenda to extend its power in North Africa.
