Iran was of special consequence in America's strategic plan and the US did its best to extend its influence in this important West Asian country after the overthrowing of Dr. Mohammad Mosaddeq in 1952. However, the Islamic revolution demonstrated its revolutionary positions and surprised Washington; it not only disclosed its policies and positions against the global oppression, but supported freedom-seeking movements of the world such as Lebanon's resistance groups and Palestine's armed forces. By military, financial and logistic supports, the Islamic Republic of Iran could play an important role in the Islamic wakefulness in both Arabic and Islamic world after centuries of inactivity and this was exactly what worried Western countries, especially the United States of America that had employed hostile policies against Iran.
