Policy between Islamic Republic of Iran and Israel

But the policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran does not include Israel in this period, and the Islamic Republic is trying to challenge Israel's security policies by using a new method. With the introduction of the governments of the Labor Party in Israel, Israel's national security policy unofficially was based on the plan Alon - the peace propose and talks to take back some of the occupied territories by the rule of Arabs and meanwhile keeping some of other territories for providing Israel's strategic needs - was on the agenda. (Lotfi, 1382, p. 5) The purpose of this strategy was to achieve the following objectives.
• destroying intifada as major problem of Israel.
• preventing guerrilla operations of Islamic groups in the Occupied Territories
• reduction of Israeli military cost to implement economic and long-term plans for transformation of countries in the region
• Israel's economic development through the acquisition of high consumption market in the Middle East
• Israel's achievement to cheap energy and labor in area
• resolving water shortages in Israel
• isolating radical Islamic countries (Iraq, Libya, Iran) which are considered a threat to Israel.
• providing a favorable context for the normalization of Arabs' relations with Israelis
• Avoiding the increase of the power of the Islamic Resistance Movement
• Securing the security of borders in Israel
• achieving global consensus in order to avoid any anti-Israel action
• impose unjust conditions on the Palestinian sides using a variety of pressures and tricks (Basij, 1381, p. 109).
Islamic Republic of Iran in this regard opposed any peace process in which the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people were unnoticed. In this regard, the Iranian proposal was to hold referendum in Palestine with the presence of all refugees in order to solve the Middle East crisis. The important point is that the Islamic Republic's opposition to Israel in the Middle East has strategic importance for Iran and the Islamic Republic not only should not stop the opposition but it also should use it as something to counter the regional hegemony of US (Haji-Yousefi, 1382, p. 215).
4. The fourth period: sharp contrast with the nature of the Zionist regime (since 1384 till now).
With the election of President Ahmadinejad in Iran and adopting fundamentalist and revolutionary positions, the Islamic Republic policies against Israeli got more intense. Upgrading missile capabilities of the Islamic Republic and strong support for resistance movements against Israel are the prime policies, but the most important and perhaps the most critical adopted policy by the Islamic Republic was questioning legitimacy of the Israeli government with calling the most important myth of the Zionists, Holocaust ideology, as a fake myth. Adopting the approaches caused Israel to make changes in its security strategies. Adopted policies include:
• to define threats against Israel as asymmetric threats, strengthening aircraft-missile and commando arms focused on raising intelligence- security on playing in intelligence-security structures for obtaining detailed information, better analysis of data and rapid transition of it to operational, air, missile and commando units (Hadi, 1385, p. 2)
• Emphasis on the counter-attack operations rather than offensive actions: Israel is vulnerable in an ongoing war because of its limited power with its human and material resources which is lower than potential adversaries and it has limited strategic depth and also in front of the sudden attack it lacks in killing time. (Mark Heller, 1379, p. 21) therefore, counter-attack should be done with speed and decisiveness.
• The search for regional and international partners and allies to deal with the threat of Islamic Revolution; in order to achieve these objectives the following actions should be taken:
A) Political ongoing effort to unite all the countries together in the fight against fundamentalism and its source, Iran
B) Efforts to cooperate all countries' efforts in the Middle East that they are facing the threat of the spread of Iranian influence.
• military operations aimed at destroying enemy forces rather than seizing the operations scene:
Israeli actions in preventing any weakness in its deterrent power as well as theoretical and practical preparation to probable confrontation of Israel with military threats of Iran, and Israel's actions in the 33-day war with Hezbollah on this context can be investigated. It should be noted that by all major shifts in security issues, Israel's numerous problems will not be solved. Advanced military technology for Israel will not bring comparative advantage in low-intensity conflicts with real purpose of mobilization of militants and effecting on the world public opinion. Another problem is growing Israeli strategic ties to the United States. Development of effective anti-missile and non-conventional weapons of defense system requires a high level of technological cooperation with Washington (Latifian, 1382, p. 6), but more importantly is that the Israeli government will face growing domestic security threats in the future.
These threats are related to four major gaps within Israeli society that are as follows:
The difference between the citizens; the gap between Jewish and Palestinian citizens, the difference between Ashkenazi Jews and Sephardic and difference between religious and secular Jews (Latifian, 1382, p (
Summary:
In the face of Islamic Revolution although Israel can be theoretically considered as supporter of new security, in practice it requires traditional deals and relationships more than new face of security. For the argument also we can refer to the following issues:
1. in terms of source of the threat: the unhappy state called Islamic Republic has always been as a source of threat to the country.
2. Nature of the threat: both countries are engaged in offensive and defensive military competition.
3. Reaction: there never was a peaceful solution in the negotiation between the two countries.
4. Being in charge of security: Israel has always been at the center of developments in the Middle East.
5. Key values: series of critical values and the legitimacy of Israel have always been attacked by the Islamic Revolution.
Accordingly Israeli security strategies in format of traditional discourse with the Islamic Revolution can be evaluated in the four hypothetical periods
