Talk:Arab League–Iran relations

The Map

Is wrong. Somolia is NOT an Arab country, nor is Djabuti. Though both countries belong to the Arab League they are not Arab.

The Opening Paragraph

I think the opening paragraph could use an overhall, but it will be a while before I focus on it (for the moment, I think I will be sticking to the 20th century). If anyone wants to beat me to it (it being a revision of the article), that would be cool. --(Mingus ah um 06:05, 23 April 2006 (UTC))

Re: the 20th century

I've alphabetized/added to the Arab states, but we still have some serious work to do. When it comes to the blank states (that is, the empty sections), Lebanon and Syria should be our primary focus, if only for Hezbollah's and Syria's reigning Baath party's close ties to Iran. Then again, there's so much to do here... any contributions would be worthwhile. --(Mingus ah um 06:05, 23 April 2006 (UTC))

Should the the 20th Century be split into two different categories (e.g., Relations with the Pahlavi dynasty and Relations with the Islamic Revolution)? Any thoughts? --(Mingus ah um 23:07, 18 May 2006 (UTC))

I thought about that as well, but so many Arab countries did not obtain independence only until the last years of the Pahlavi dynasty. I think it would lead to a whole bunch of small three sentence paragraphs. I think keeping it in its current form is mroe flowing... other opinions?

--(Tototom 22 May 2006 (UTC))

Hmmm... Maybe there should be subcategories within each nation. Example: Main Category: Relations in the 20th Century Subcategory: Specific Nation Sub-subcategories: Relations with the Pahlavi Dynasty; Relations with the Islamic Revolution

If we do not have any information regarding the relations of a given country with the Pahlavi Dynasty, we can throw up a section stub, and, if we know that there were no relations with the Pahlavi Dynasty, we can start Relations with the Islamic Revolution with a sentence like this: "Diplomatic relations between Country X and Iran were formed after the consolidation of the Islamic Revolution." What do you think? --(Mingus ah um 20:32, 23 May 2006 (UTC))

Lets do it! Tototom 11:19, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Egypt has no relations with Iran, and western sahara is not Arab or a country!

Western Sahara is not a country with an Arab majority, it isn't a member of the Arab league, it isn't recognized by any Arab country or any international body as an independent state.

Egypt does not have normalized relations with Tehran, there is no Iranian embassy in Cairo or a consulate anywhere in the country, nor is there an Egyptian embassy in Tehran. There have been intermitent attempts at reconciliation, but they have mostly been short lived and Cairo's position hasn't changed much for the last three decades. By this definition, Egypt (and I believe many of the countries on the list) has no relations with Iran. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Karkaron (talk • contribs)

Map

This article deals with the Iran-Arab relations. Therefore it is necessary to know what the Arab world is. As there is more than one definition of the Arab world, as rightfully recognized by the Arab world article, the map should include all possible definitions. Emphasizing one definition (such as the map inserted by User: Arab League) therefore constiutes a violation of WP:NPOV. Sijo Ripa 09:44, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

i find it insulting, why would i Emphasize with a topic defining Iran's relations with Arab States???

i simply created the map to sho the official boundries of both nations, rather then ethnic maps of the Arab world to decrease its area!!!, why then not eliminate non-persian parts of Iran, if thats the case, i find YOUR acts as violations of WP:NPOV, just think about it, why decrease the Arab Official lands into ethnic ones and not do the same with Iran's??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arab League (talk • contribs) 00:50, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

I don't really understand everything you are trying to say. Why the current map is better, is that it shows the various definitions of the Arab world, including the maximal definition. The reason why the same is not applied for Iran, is simple: this page is about the Iran-Arab relations. Iran is a country, the Arab world is not and several definitions exist about what countries are Arab. While the article can include all countries of the maximal definition, an emphasis on one definition is POV. Sijo Ripa 09:48, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Rearrangement

I separated foreign relations of Pahlavi dynasty and Islamic republic of Iran. Ithink it helps to look at it as whole instead of writing similar notes for every Arab country. We can understand Pahlavi's foreign policy on the basis of the cold war logic. Usually Pahlavi dynasty was a ally of west and therefor it had good relations with the U.S. allies in Arab world. Islamic republic is completely another state and it follows another doctrine, i.e. It cooperate with anti-western states and stay against westernized states. --Seyyed(t-c) 06:42, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Suggestion to split this article

I'd suggest to make both "Relations with Pahlavi Dynasty" and "Relations with Islamic republic of Iran" separate articles. The article is currently awfully long, as is the table of contents (55 entries!). Moreover, since both abovementioned sections contain exactly the same subsections, links to these won't work correctly. Even when editing a subsection of "Relations with Islamic republic of Iran", you are taken to the same-name subsection of "Relations with Pahlavi Dynasty" after saving.—Graf Bobby (talk) 00:05, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I support u in being bold! Ryan4314 (talk) 00:41, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

It's good idea. Of course we can make an article about Iran-Arab relation during history and these are two of the sub-articles of that one.--Seyyed(t-c) 05:41, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Good idea. There are various claims that some Arab nations support attacking Iran and this needs to be discussed in article and not lost in ancient history. CarolMooreDC (talk) 01:20, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

History starts with Mohammed?

There was bad blood between the Arabs and the Persians long before Alexander the Great was born.

For example: Babylon#Persia captures Babylon Hcobb (talk) 00:46, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

The entire article is extremely poor. It claims as if History for Persia/Iran and Arab has started on 7th century. There are no mention of pre-Islamic Arab & Persian empires --Theotherguy1 (talk) 01:49, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Rtnews template

I've removed the Russia Today news template from the page, as it had raised concern because it pointed to a single trending news page, rather than a selection of trend pages, and after discussion in the appropriate places, it's easier to remove it than it is to add lots of other trend pages, as I don't know of any (don't have time to look). If there are any comments, concerns, or suggestions please reply on my talkpage, as I don't watch this page. Penyulap ☏ 02:25, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
