It seems that since the Iranian identity is a resource of belonging to a territory and history, it would have lesser incompatibility with an identity resource which would be the means of administering the country in terms of its economic, political, and cultural · regime.
Ifwe were to consider the interests of the Iranian people in Iran's management paradigm, hence we would have to take a specific road map, one which would be hugely different from the road we would take if we were to refer primarily to Islamic resources and then define the interests of the Iranian nation.
Iran's management paradigm would be very much analogous to that of South Korea, Malaysia, India, China, and Brazil if the Iranian identity were set as the decisive criterion: all the programs, policies, and strategies would be formulated within the terms of the interests of the country and its people.
Based on the national and territorial identity, the political administrators would be responsible to increase the economic welfare of the people, establish security, plan for the country's future, defend its territorial integrity, and corroborate its global prestige and stance.
