That is why it finds itself currently backing the opponents of revolutionary Islam: Bashar al-Assad against the Islamists in Syria and the Houthis against al-Qaeda in Yemen. And it is why it finds itself not only signing a nuclear accord with the Great Satan but also tacitly cooperating with it against the Islamic State, their common enemy.
对伊朗来说，现在重要的不再是意识形态，而是国家利益和现实政治。因此，如今它支持革命伊斯兰的反对者：在叙利亚与伊斯兰教徒对抗的巴沙尔·阿萨德以及在也门与基地组织对抗的胡塞叛军。也是因此，它不但与大恶魔签订了核协议，还心照不宣地与它合作对抗共同的敌人伊斯兰国。既然伊斯兰革命已经结束，其他领域的合作也许就会变得同样有吸引力。
