Iran's geopoliti-cal position and access to energy resources; Internal and identity-building historical developments, in-cluding a long-standing enmity with the United States; The structural pressure of the international sys-tem and the developments related to the Islamic Awakening and the Arab Spring and the development of the axis of resistance in West Asian countries.
